First dunk was great, so much power put into that dunk and it was a tomahawk of some sort... not just a basic dunk. Definitely looking much better than the regular dunks.

Yeah interestingly enough, with a heavier bar that's not the issue as much as it is with a lighter bar. A heavier bar kind of digs itself more into my upperback and delts, while a lighter bar I need to hold it more with my arms...

The bar still slowly slips on my back as my set goes on, so I hurry up on my set to finish it before the bar is too low and I need to drop it, which would basically mean I would be kicked out of the gym probably and that would be it.

Yeah I think the biggest issue is mental focus... sometimes my mind just wanders around instead of focusing on the "hey, you have a heavy bar on your back" thing. Very dangerous and stupid. But ... it happens, I can't help it. Still, in my last squat workout I did squats with 110 and it went very well.

  The kid in the video is just learning and in an exaggerated position at the bottom, long torso and short legs- you can stay very upright and get deep, short torso and long legs- youre going to have to create some forward lean to get to the same depth.  Trying to stay perfectly straight up and down and go deep for someone with a short torso/long leg body type is going to be murder on the knees. 

 You didnt look too far forward on your latest squats at all, it looked alot better than the previous high bar ones you posted, that squat is going to suit your body type much better and allow you to go deeper without killing your knees.

Well incidentally, I have lower back pain now, and I've had it two weeks ago as well, from the squats. And I feel like I'm bending forward a lot. Flip is doing the same as well, he's lucky he has the shoulder or whatever (pec) flexibility to get his palms over the bar and hold it as he's supposed to but other than that... he kind of bends a lot at the waist when doing the low bar squats.

Well I could but... it feels weird, I mean, to lift the heels just so I can squat narrower instead of squatting wider not to lift the heels.

I don't know how you guys squat narrow stance. If I were to squat narrow stance, 1/2 squat would be the lowest that I'd get until I would fall on my back so I'd have to compensate by leaning forward A LOT. The only way to squat narrow is if I lift my heels like a beauty queen.

He's soooo leaned forward in this movie. To me, that looks like incredible low bar strain tension. I probably do something similar when I low bar squat. I also have lower back problems recently.

Don't you guys think that's VERY bent forward and VERY dangerous for the lower back?

Well to tell you the truth... because I'm afraid of cardio. Like genuinely. Two of my family "men" have died after effort... one came with his bike home and had a vein pop out in his head at 25 years old or so after effort. Another one died after he got home on his bike, was kind of tired, and the elevator was broken so he used the stairs to get home (at the 8th floor of the building) and his heart stopped and started vomiting and coughing up blood and pink foam (sign of pulmonary edema) - and he died basically of a heart attack after effort.

So I keep that in mind and whenever my heart rate goes up at pretty much anything, these things keep coming up in my head and I get scared and my heart rate goes even higher and my fatigue increases a lot in just a few seconds. Then I'm done.

wtf? damn..

Well yeah... that's why I'm really terrorized by effort and the heart rate going up... that's why my bodyfat is where it is and my fitness is where it is.

  The Extreme eccentric car push. Athlete drives up a to the top of a steep hill, puts car in neutral, backs down the hill while resisting the overload provided by the several thousand pounds of automobile resistance.  If at any time the athlete fails the car will steamroll him with ease, providing solid motivation to maintain proper form. 

I'm cool with that, but I'd use a tank. Much more interesting results.

Or you could overload the sprints going uphill or downhill, doing bounds (overload), or running with a weight vest or even a backpack of some kind if it's really tight on your body.
