ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Deadlift and squat form
« on: April 05, 2011, 11:17:47 am »
Hey guys, I have some problems with my technique and was hoping that you could help me out.
So I recently changed to a mixed grip on my deadlifts to improve my grip, while that certainly helpe with the grip my back is getting murdered when I deadlift now.
Here is a video of it (few reps as I don't want to hurt my back)

Now with squat the problem is that I have some kind of staggered stance and my body is turning a bit (kinda like basketball shooting position I think), and its like no matter what I do I stay in that kind of poition or something that looks similar, it can be quite hard to change your stance with the bar on your shoulders but even if I lower the weight I can't get in a proper position, and I get a similar position on deadlifts and calf raises I think. So I was thinking that is due to somei mbalance in my body, or is it just a bad habbit?
Another thing with my squat is that my lower back can get a little sore, i'm guessing that is not a good thing.
Something went wrong went i tried to upload my squatting so I don't have a video of it, but I will upload it again asap.
