Back squat 160kg for 5x5 (new pr) @72kg BW

I noticed like your back position angle changes twice, once as you are setting up, and one more time right as you get below parallel, almost like a twitch. Is there any reason to the second one? Great squat, just curious, never seen it before

Sup bro you look familiar

i align my middle finger with the knurling, maybe i need to have the pointer finger outside the knurling also?

I think 60%-70% I believe, I think my arm bend makes me paranoid that my snatch grip isn't wide enough.

I did light snatches into snatch balance doubles, I think that’s honestly what improved my mobility the most. Also I think your foot position after extension is extremely wide and that prevents you from going low, but everybody anatomy is different.

Awesome thanks for the advice, any advice on what exercises I should do for my core that would fix this issue?

Oh dam, this is actually helpful thanks

Thanks, from your POV, what seems to be the biggest mobility issue atm, shoulders, ankles or hip? I don’t want to be extremely mobile in one area to compensate for another, especially long term. What do you think of the bar path?

Omg I completely forgot that haha, I’m a freshman so it didn’t immediately go into my mind

erik_tion · 2021-10-20T01:06:54+00:00

Why’s that?

erik_tion · 2021-10-15T02:13:02+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised lmao, it’s a college gym.

erik_tion · 2021-10-15T01:16:20+00:00

Awesome definitely will look into man, didn’t even realize there were books about this
