What if you try the X grip on the front squat?

Where I'm getting at is that we underrate too much the importance of the vertical back that occurs in the high bar, front and overhead squat (where the overhead squat is the most restrictive of them all in terms of perfect form).

You've been doing awesome man!

Don't be down on yourself. Yeah you might have issues here and there but in all, you're doing really well.

What about straight leg deadlifts? I do them and I love them. But I've heard so many anecdotes about "how dangerous they are"... wtf...

You know, I used to think the same about my hamstring flexibility. I was like "man, I can put my palms on the ground, I have BEAST hamstring flexibility" when in fact all I was doing was bending my back.

If you keep your back neutral (head, upperback and lowerback all in line) without - obviously - allowing the chest to collapse forward - you'll see THEN what your hamstring flexibility actually is.

I can get a bit under the knees with that. And you can REALLY feel the hamstrings stretch, not like before. From that position you can collapse the chest and see how it felt back when you were doing the way you were doing it before (which is wrong).

So basically - for me - due to hamstring INflexibility I have compensated in time by becoming very flexible in the trunk, which is NOT necessarily the thing you want. That explains a lot of my movement impairments as well.

Looking fine.

The more and more I look at your videos the more I think you have hamstring issues, probably both in terms of flexibility and strength. There's something about your movement, the way you favor knee bend/body position etc that makes me think that. You tell me how accurate I am.
