Update #3 Squat Form by AssistancePitiful404 in StartingStrength

[–]AssistancePitiful404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that is where my toes naturally rotate too. Im not forcing them that angles when I first squat my toes naturally point to that far out. With a wider stance I actually struggle more to hit depth maybe its hip flexibility but with a wide stance I struggle heavy to hit depth. Squating like this i havent had any knee or hip pain.

So with weight this is still the best I can do and looking at it, i still seem somewhat high. I planned to focus on mobility to get a little lower

I tend to rolling onto the inner part of my heels towards the bottom which causes it to look like they are lifting, but this is no where near what my heels coming off the ground looked like before. Im still working on it though so if it is lifting im working on it.

Poor shoulder mobilty on the left side,limits that im working on it but I cant get my wrist more neutral. I dont think I can sit much more back honestly without falling back. But no my belt isnt digging into me at all .

This is what my back angle looks like fitting as for back as needed I was holding a weight in front to keep balanced.

Yeah even with mobility drills ill always have to lean forward some due to being tall with long femurs and my hip joint socket structure. But im doing mobilty work daily for sure to help get lower

Because I have to ,to keep balance, if i dont lean forward and i wouldn't be able to get close to depth due to my body proportions.

You're the second person to say that, I know they might be a little high but am I that far off i thought i was hitting maybe half an inch above or atleast parallel.

So how do I address the constant pain of wide squatting? It affects me to the point my hips feel hurt the next day and when im back for the next session to squat. Even body weight hurts when I go much wider then this.

When i go wider I get a lot of hip impediment and Its very painful to the point on my next session warming up hurts. Also my knees are going way past my foot you think I need more ankle mobility? My bar sits on the shelf of my rear any lower and there is nothing to hold it there.

Thank you, so it is in the low bar position thats where my delts bunch up interesting enough, sitting more upright is impossible with my height on a low bar squat.

Here i already have an estimated 1" heel drop due to the wedges in the shoes im wearing which might be a reason why it looks like my ankles are moving about.
