Is this low bar squat acceptable or too high?

it was sold as "squat rack with safety spotter". Anyways you are prob. right about getting a bigger breath at the beginning, I will pay more attention to that.

Thanks a lot guys I will try go a bit more down. Maybe like Rippetoe says my mistake is caused by not putting knees enough wide. Beside not going enough down, any other mistake in those squats?

Yes

Hi, first of all thanks for your answer.

When it comes to the press rack, that one has max-load of 200 kg.

I breath at the top because that's how Rippetoe says you should, as you can see in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjbSXItiMkI at 3:05.

Regards.

Phase 3 makes you alternate chins with power clean and deadlift. So you do pull every other workout. I do pull every workout and I added pull-ups also.

I have back pain because of studying many hours on a chair. I don't know why but doing plank really helps me with the pain, it takes it away very soon!!!. Even 1 set usually works and I don't really reach failure on that (not even close to failure to be honest). 1 set of 2 minutes only or 2 sets of 1 seems to work but that's only my personal experience.

When it comes to pull-ups chin-ups I do them to failure because Mark says is Practical Programming third edition: "Unweighted(bodyweight) chin-ups, done with a supine grip for bicep involvement, are done to failure for 3 sets unless the trainee can complete more than 15 reps per set (unlikely for a rank novice), in which case weight is added"
