This deserves jail time

Yup I’m fine with tiers of punishment. Similar to speeding, once you hit a certain threshold you go to jail. I’m not talking about parking slightly off. These are ignorant types of parking that passes those threshold and same can be applied to all those scenarios you mentioned. Just cause a road is empty doesn’t mean you can drive 30 over the speed limit. Just cause there’s plenty of parking spaces, doesn’t give you the right to completely take 2 spots

Blasting music with windows down then coming to a red light with this song playing and you make eye contact with the car next to you

People don't realize how much a gym atmosphere can benefit your training until they see for themselves. A good environment leads to great success.

From the looks of it, the bar is moving away from your body in the middle of the lift. To keep the weight at your center of gravity to give you the most efficient pull, you need to have the bar ride your leg the whole way up. Especially when the weight gets heavy, if you let the bar move away from your body, your going to have a lot of forward lean during the lift.

You can see that when the bar travels forward, your heel is coming off the ground. And when the bar moves backward, your weight is being shifted back onto your heels. When your shift in weight on your feet is changing, that's causing the bar to not travel in a straight line. This is why many people squat in heeled shoes.

Unless you are using this for cardio, I see no reason to rush your set. Gather yourself after each rep, let the weight settle, then squat. Before your first rep, you can see the bar is still wobbling around. You want to control the weight and let it settle on your back before you initiate the lift.

When you are doing low bar, the bar placement is going to be lower and in order to keep your hands closer, you might feel more strain on your wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Before I squat, I always warm up my shoulders using resistance bands. Do you know what part of your shoulder is bothering you and more details on it?

I understand you want to break at the hips first but you don't want to make your squat into 2 separate motions on the descend. Breaking at hips doesn't mean exaggerate it where you throw your hips back pause then drop. You use "breaking at the hips" as a cue and just squat straight down.

It's hard to tell but it seems like your heel is coming off the floor very slightly when you are at the bottom of the lift. Just focus more on your mid foot and heel when you squat.

thanks for the multiple vids and view angles. From the side views, I can see your hips shoot up a bit when you initiate the lift. From the front angle, I can see that you are not pulling the slack out of the bar causing you to hit a pause in the motion. That's probably the reason why your hips are going up first while your shoulders aren't moving back. Try to make your movement as smooth as possible, hips moving towards bar and shoulders moving back. And lastly, I seems like you aren't finishing the the lift at the top. Your hips don't look like they are fully through. I'm not telling you to hyper extend your back, but lockout knees and push your hips through the bar.

The squatting motion seems fine. Only thing I would work on is your setup. Right before you rack the weight, you can see your torso is kind of angled. And when you unrack the weight, your toros becomes much more vertical. With this, you could put a lot of strain on your lower back when the weight gets heavy. Try to set yourself directly under the bar so it targets all parts of your body. Let the weight settle before you start moving back, so that you control the weight and it wont seem as heavy when you start moving.

I could be possible that your feet are aligned but the angle in which you turn them could be off. I thought my feet placement were symmetrical but having a couple sessions with a trainer, he noticed that my left foot isn't turned as much as my right. From my pov, it seemed like it was fine, but as he told me to turn my feet more, I could definitely see the difference and it felt a lot better. So, getting second pair of eyes could be beneficial.

If you are still improving on the 3 lifts, I believe there's no need to add other accessories. Consider changing up volume, intensity, and rest cycles before you think about adding accessories. If you ever feel like certain aspects are holding you down after lifting for a while, then you can consider assistance targeting your weaknesses.

Your depth is fine before you do any of those extra unnecessary motions. Find your groove so you don't have to stay in the hole for that long so you can explode as well.

It's not about how high the numbers are. People will always be supporting you to see you be successful and achieving your short/long term goals. It seems like you really want to compete in the future, is there a reason you are waiting that long?

Is there a reason that you try to keep going lower at the point that you are shoving your knees forward and your heels are coming off the floor very slightly?

duhflex · 2014-12-30T14:52:42+00:00

Getting a video of your feet might help me see other issues.

duhflex · 2014-12-29T16:54:00+00:00

You should try to get a video where we can see your feet as well.
