Im feeling pretty strong right now, feel like i can pr my bench if i tried...

haha nice! how the legs feeling? this is getting stronger phase so !

peace

i dunno abt the legs frankly, the squats were alright, lunges felt tough at times.
but i did get abt 2-3 inches in a fatigued and sore state, so i hope that means im onto somethin good.

that's definitely good though..

i've been seeing alot of journals here talkin abt squat stance dude, what is a powerlifting stance anyway? toes more flared out, knees pointing further out?

if thats the case, i think im like that too. frm ur vids of u dong the squats, i notice that u point ur knees almost straight infront... is that better for vert?

well, if you have the hip flexibility/leg-to-torso structure, then this is how you should squat:

if you have really long legs, then form can be changed many ways.. but generally, you want to mimic that form above ^^ as much as possible.. does that look like your squat? hehehe

my legs are long and my hip has gotten injured from going deep, so that's why i squat the way i do.. though i have been squatting a bit different lately, i'll try and video it on saturday or sunday.

peace!

i think its gonna be too late for u to post lower A already, so its alright, i'll wing it abit, add abit of weight to last week.

can u do up the next 3 days? thanks eh!

head straight, but back into bar... meaning like how a chicken cocks its head back?

why's that so eh?

I think he might just be doing that thing that Chinese oly lifters do when they're repping out squats, you know, where they nod their head a little bit. The first guy in the video from a few posts ago does it at the bottom of his reps and Frank Yang does it, too, haha.

Do not look up when you squat. Keep your head facing directly forwards or a little bit down. You should, however, be driving you head back into the bar.

ya i agree.. occipito-pelvic reflex, hyperextending the neck can hyperextend the low back.. i like back to be pretty neutral on squat.

but squats looked good, nice power on each rep.

how were those jumps? how high did you touch on rim ?

peace!
