Thanks for the info, will get another vid, will keep in mind about what you said, try keep upright position.

Makes sense what you said, when i do it this way, it don't hurt my back, but when i go for another set i get pain in my back in by trying to lift it off the rack.

Finally, Here is a video with 112lbs of weight on it, it was raining heavy for 3 days it got muddy outside, tires had mud, i got dirty so i had to stop and weight when it was not raining, it was quite wet the grass as it had rained last night but nothing too messy as the other days. I forgot to emphasize my shoulders but feel i did use my shoulders quite a bit, just wanted to record myself squatting heavy weight, wasn't as hard as it would have if i went to the bottom as i would need to put even more effort.

when you say don't force, do you mean go to a point where i can comfortably go back up instead of going all the way to the bottom and use more effort to come up.

 Ok man, first of all, completely forget the hip drive thing, dont think about it, try it , etc, youre taking it to the extreme and mis understanding it and your hips are coming up before your torso does, putting a TON of stress on your lower back and spine.  You need to start from square one and try to stay as upright as you possibly can, I would even do some front squatting for a while to re enforce that position.  You can try box squatting and keeping a more upright torso for a while, sometimes that helps, but you HAVE to get to the point that your hips arent beating your torso up to the top.  I would definitely post another form check video with a front squat and either a box squat with a more upright torso position or a back squat with a more upright, but you need to work on that before you progress to heavier weights bud, thats not safe at all the way youre currently doing them.  Props on the tire weights though, finding a way to make a weight set out of that is boss.

Here is an update of the vids

Squat ignoring the hip drive.

Attempt at the box squat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U-nbHNLct4&NR=1

I couldn't do the front squat as i have never done it before so i couldn't do it right and placed it on my wrist injured it as i placed my wrist on my shoulder and i have to bend down to place it and i was leaning back making it dangerous.
need practice on form of front squat.

selfullaah73 = beast.

I did 3x10 of 1 tires which is 56lbs for squat then box squat next day

tried to film a squat of myself was not happy

so did 1x10 of 1 big tire and 1 small which was 105lbs did it with good form

so now attempted the squat which was 7lbs heavier then with the previous good form squat, i still have some doubts about it but probably you can help.

Squat video

since my box squat was affected by form so i tried perfecting the form for that as well, i can see that my hips go up again in the last rep in the video i don't know how it happened i didn't feel like i was doing that.

I still feel like i still need to improve, will definitely get another video done.

thanks

Thats what i need help with in keeping my torso upright when im doing the squat i feel like my torso is straight but when looking at the videos it just is different.

is it maybe because im sitting back too much that my body is leaning forward?

I have problem with front squat i don't how to do them. where do you position the bar. I feel that if i did these then it would help tremendously because of keeping the bar from rolling off my shoulders i will have to keep my torso upright. But that's my problem to place the bar. I tried placing it behind my collar bones, bar is too thick to fit in that place. also the way people are placing there fingers im suprised they haven't injured their wrist by placing the bar on their finger tips.

any tips on doing the front squat would be great. thanks

I am getting used to the front squat but everytime i unrack and placing my wrist back to original position huge pain in my wrist and i mean huge it then settles to a reasonable amount. i have a feeling that it is to do with when going down im probably still leaning quite a little bit forward shifting the weight from my shoulders to my fingers. it only hurts when unracking and little bit during the lift.

Thanks for the tip that was quite helpful.

i am making good progress i can get down and up with minimal amount of weight on my fingers.
first during warm-up sets i place it on my fingers when near shoulders. there was pain still in my wrist and it is always my right hand wrist that is painful not both. I tried with heavy weights after warm up placing the bar on my hands? does it matter if it is in your hands or does placing on your fingers increase mobility and range of motion that gave me pain on both wrists and finally i decided to get back to placing it on my fingers which pain again on my right wrist some on my left but probably because of placing bar on hands on previous sets i did 10 reps.

thats confusing why pain is on my right hand.
i can tell that weight of bar is not shifted on my fingers as i can wiggle my fingers and it is not under any weight.
once i finish i hope to never do front squats again.

is the power cleans the same when you pull it up and bring it on to your fingers if you try catch on your shoulders what a large amount of weight falling on the clavicles. so im guessing you have to catch it on your fingers or is it different.
hopefully by the weekend i should get a video up keeping the technique in mind.
