Update list, I'm at 145 squat for 82.1 kg bodyweight. 160 kg deadlift at the same weight.

I bet hitting those pins really messed up your squats, you could do much better.

That's what catched my... "eye" as well.

How many goats did he send you to write that?

I think he talks about it in some of his books like Naked Warrior or Power to the people.

Yeah but I've always have that. I can't do a overhead squat until the bar immediately goes forward as I go down. I can't even look up for rebounding too well when I play, it's something weird going on.

I think I'm hunchbacked or something too.

I have found out, again and again, that I screw my dunks and jumps up because whenever I plant I tend to have my chest oriented quite a bit towards the ground and I look into the ground most of the time. That REALLY screws everything up, from not being able to use my glutes and jumping "pulling my chest up" to jumping forward.

Now I have managed to correct that somewhat by excessively trying to look up to the rim when I plant (I'm talking about two footed plants here but applies to one leg as well somewhat) and it did some good as I was quickly able to dunk, but this problem still persists. Sometimes even when I actively think to look at the rim my body just can't pull it off and my chest goes down and forward.

Same stuff happens in my squats. I tend to bend forward a lot if I'm to go deeper into my squat. Not sure what's going on here, I've tried to figure it out but it doesn't make any sense. Maybe I need to really squeeze my glutes more to prevent that from happening? Maybe it's a mobility issue (I have thought again and again and I can't localize what kind of mobility thing is it - hip, upperbody (?), what?), I just can't figure it out.

Any help? It could apply as well to some people around here (although I'm definitely in a worse shape than a lot of you in this subject)

@Joel: Have you ever had substantial success with training with a weight-vest? I would imagine that for example a 5 lbs vest was just annoying and not really adding much resistance. Don't know, maybe I should try it.

I personally had a lot of success with a weight vest while doing Joel's program in 2009. It really did it's magic. It doesn't make sense when you think about it, I was just doing some bad form bounds and stuff like that once per week with a weight vest but still it was great.

I think the harder overload in THAT particular jump does it's trick on the CNS level, although you can make an argument about depth jumps doing the same thing.
