- squat 275 x 5,5,5
missed badly on 305, dropped back but will add weight as quickly as possible.
torso lean is in large part a function of your leverages -- how long each part of your legs is and how long your torso is. no one squats perfectly upright. i manage to stay pretty upright, even though i squat closer to low-bar, because i have average-to-short legs and good hip mobility. but your legs are long IIRC, so maybe you'll just never get that upright posture you see in youtube videos of great squatters.
I think what describes me best is this:A lot of athletes are built with a shorter torso and longer legs, for these athletes putting the bar down a few inches lower on the rear delts is beneficial, and can influence the load used significantly. For athletes of this build, they are going to have significant forward lean REGARDLESS of the squat style they choose in most cases, so reducing the lever arm of the upper torso, actually HELPS them get more glute, quad, and hamstring involvement, without the same stress a higher position has on the low back. An athlete with a longer torso will often feel MORE lower back involvement when attempting this style, it all depends on the individual. As long as you follow the same general guidelines, shoulder width or slightly wider stance, slightly below parallel depth, and the LEGS and HIPS taking the brunt of the workload, you need not worry about which type of squat youre doing, youre strengthening your LOWER BODY.
repeat: VIDEO.
-Anyway no more comments now , i have to upload the vid when i get back home so you guys can tell me what seems to be the problem.
at 2:11 he looks like he could get his nose to the rim if he reached for it. Looks a bit like AUT. That looks 50
I was able to do 3 x 225 x 5 without too much problem. next will be 3 x 230 x 5.
Say I hit a wall at 3 x 250 x 5, what is my next play?
Oh and vag - I measure from heel off the ground to heel on the ground - when the heels raise the COM raises, if you pull up your toes you're on the air so I count that.

He has 31 frames of hangtime for a 30 fps video, which amounts to 1.023 seconds which means a 51 inch vert
