Form check thread

Yeah feels p dodge, how do I stop knee wobble.

Happens even with lighter weights unfortunately.

Female or andro man?

>those spaghetti knees
Stop wobbling/caving your knees in on the way up. Lower the weight if you need to

>maybe we have similar leverages
Well I guess we do, my knees go inwards too when I am getting close to my maxes.

Christ just cause i have a juicy ass.....

>what's wrong
First off, get a fucking tan. You look soft like a woman

This lighten the weight 5/10 lbs and focus on pushing your knees out and not in.

you don't have a juicy ass you dyel

You have love handles though, which is a feminine trait

It looks to me that you're letting the weight on the inside of your feet, instead try to screw your feet into the ground. This should help a lot against the knees caving in.

And some reading here: bretcontreras.com/creating-torque-by-screwing-the-feet-into-the-ground/

No you have wide hips, not a juicy ass.

But you should work on making it bigger, in my gym you'd constantly be getting hit on my guys trying to take your AV card

Your feet are sliding across the floor, losing tightness and power. Are you in socks? Stop that, this isn't a deadlift

Why are you squatting weights that you can only do a single rep of? You are not strong enough to be doing heavy singles to any good effect. Do your fives.

You have some general instability, but as you continue squatting you will develop smoothness. Don't worry.

Try not to let your wrists get so extended. Put your thumbs over the bar. You look like you're holding the weight in your hands as much as you're holding the weight on your back - Remember, the bar and load are both on your back. Your hands are just keeping your upper back tight.

I'd recommend you learn to low-bar squat and stop at parallel, instead of the high bar squats you're doing now. It's probably optimal for you, but if you love high bar, just focus on my other points.

Work on upper body more. Shrugs, back movements, bench press, arms...skip squats and just run and do some hamstring and quad isolation. You need a more imposing core/torso

lmao this

Fat around the core is a typically male fat distribution pattern.

Low bar squatting & stopping at parallel is notoriously difficult to gauge, event the coaches at various events mess this up constantly. Instead if he does not plan on competing, I'd say he should continue with squatting high bar.

Fuck me up senpai had to use and oly platform because the racks are shit for filming

Why are you leaning forward,

Why does your knees go way past your toes??

Why are you lifting your heels??

Why are you even trying??

You have an ill looking, flabby, dowwie gay body. And I hate how your legs wobbles when you are coming up.

post your chubby ass faggot

>low bar
>heels still lifting up
You'll fuck your shit up if you keep this up when the weights are heavy. Maybe get oly shoes or try some different stuff.

Just stop posting.

You've got hips, m8. Do some upper body work and run.......you don't need bigger legs, just leaner....get some shoulders and traps and a thick chest first.....

He is asking for help and you are barraging him with questions. Jesus mate, I don't think he has a fucking clue why he is doing those things probably why he is asking for help

bring the bar lower on your back. Tense abs. Bring feet pointed a little closer together. Break from the hips

>feet not aligned
>knee caving
>barefoot and slippery
>breathing into the chest

weight over mid foot from now on. also don't slow into the bottom and don't look up

Don't listen to this retard, just stop increasing the weight, once you hit 130kg high bar squat for reps

Knees cave, butt winks. Also you have womanly hips.

>Tense abs
only correct part, everything else is a function of your proportions or preferences

This is really bad dude like not a meme you need to stop doing this

Squatting in ultra boosts isn't doing you any favors because the heel is raised and the cushion is bouncy. All your weight IN THIS GIF is on your toes, very bad

Arms farther apart. Bar lower on your back. Keep your weight ON YOUR HEELS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LIFT

Don't lean your neck forward like that. Look fowards throughout, don't pinch the bar in your neck as you look at the damn sky

see

>Bar lower on your back. Keep your weight ON YOUR HEELS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LIFT
disregard.

low bar squatting is preferential and keeping weight on your heels is objectively wrong - your weight should be over the mid foot throughout the entire rep.

the stupidity of this board astounds me and it's unfortunate that you're probably going to end up taking advice from posts like that one

holy shit kys

I found that the knee wobble stopped/subsided when my leg strength increased.

Keep doing ATG and you'll find it'll stop

Lol

Ok round 2.
I removed the shoes and looked at the ground in front of me unfortunately I'm not at the gym anymore

And one rep at more weight, in case I'm doing anything better/worse at different weight.
This is 225, the most I ever squatted is 245. I tried 275 but failed.

just make a webm you goofy fucking faggot holy shit

YOU ARE SO FUCKING AWKWARD, GOOD LORD CAN YOU JUST FUCKING DIE

Dude How else am I gonna learn how to squat? Everyone just calls me a faggot for not knowing proper form and calls me a faggot for asking what proper for is...

The best advice I can give you is to move your chest and your hips at the same time as one unit. Do not let your chest lurch on the way up or down, and do not lead with your hips on the way up. Performing squats by leading with either your chest or hips will put a lot of unnecessary stress on your lower back.

why the fuck is your ass going back before bending your knees
sort yourself out your goofy ass mf
keep your arms vertical and push out your chest

Attached: 1512042981947.jpg (300x300, 42K)

they call you a faggot because you look like one

you shoot your hips out before you descend and then you move your neck so you look in front of you again even though you said "I looked at the ground in front of me"
literally watch any video on low-bar squats
I don't know where you learned to do this hip motion before you descend but i cringe so hard watching it

Literally what in the FUCK is wrong with you? Here's someone trying to lift and improve his form and you just mock him for doing it wrong instead of helping? Did you come out of the womb knowing proper squat form? Please eat buckshot ASAP

How about you move your chest and your hips at the same time towards my unit, sweetheart.

>being this sensitive
>telling anyone to kill themeselves

t. insecure manlet

he's already gotten the advice he needs to hear

i'm 6'3 and think he looks like a sperg too.
were you bullied in school or something?

Can't be bothered to tag all the dyels talking shit about your ass, but shut the fuck up. You're a textbook endomorph, you've got too much body fat and it stores around low waist/legs. Get that shit down pronto, body fat makes people like you look fucking shit really fast.

Whatever program you're running, nix the squats and do diddlies for legs only. Focus everything else on arms/torso. Anything with bench, OHP, BB rows and arm work in it will do. Do something for your abs as well. Aside from that, C A R D I O.

Your torso seems to be a bit too vertical as you go down. Try to keep your back tight and straight, since you're curving your back once you get low. I'd recommend that when you go down, accentuate the movement of your hips to go backwards, so that you can maintain the correct back position throughout the squat. Also, when lifting back of the ground, drive with your hips.

I'd recommend you have a look at the links below. You could watch your videos side by side with those of the links to get a better idea of the form you need.

STOP FALLING FOR THE FUCKING ATG MEME

SOME PEOPLE LITERALLY CANNOT GO ATG WITHOUT BUTTWINK/SHIT FORM BECAUSE OF THEIR BIOMECHANICS. YOU LOOK AWKWARD AS SHIT, A LOW BAR SQUAT SHOULD BE NATURAL

STOP AT PARALLEL RETARD, STOP TRYING TO IMPRESS VIRGINS ONLINE

170kg x 2. I always feel like I push too much of the weight with the front of my feet, rather than the heels.

This was my AMRAP from week 4 of GZCL. Hit 130kg Bench for 5 the day before and tonight I'm testing OHP

I posted this a few days ago and a few people said I was going too deep/something about my knees

Nice squat. Looks to me you're letting your torso get pushed forward and thats shifting the weight to your toes. Remember to push your back up along with your hips and legs. Should be one fluid movement of all parts firing at the same time.

dont squat in those shoes, its fucking your stability.

I've been thinking of getting oly weightlifting shoes with raised heels, but I've worn the same pair of Converse ever since I started lifting.

blow your upper body up to balance out your wide hips

Converses are fine, I wouldn't ditch em. Just keep your back tight and push it up

Take those fucking shoes off mate. Squat barefoot.

>tfw i use the same shoes
My arches are so high my footprint looks like two islands

fpbp

Press from your heels your right foot looks like it’s faryher back by a couple inches

bump my vid

Didn't your knees cave in while going up?

Yeah, but I'm always aware of it and constantly focus on pushing then back out when it happens

great form, but why do you slow down in the hole? trying to retain tightness? afraid of the hole? that comfy stretch reflex is there to help brah

also mirin bench and physique. doing it right my man.

i made the transition and never looked back. not only does the raised heel help but you feel glued to the floor with them on, i can highly recommend them. you will probably need to play with your form though for some time after buying (if you do) because your form will change slightly of course

most of the time it's relative glute weakness, if not a mobility issue. if your glutes aren't strong enough to press into the floor in that position, you will compensate by letting your knees cave in which essentially removes them from the equation to the point of the quads being the prime mover at that position. when you rise out of the hole, you can push your knees back out no problem because the glutes are no longer in a position that stresses them very heavily.

something to think about. knees caving in isn't a massive problem if it's not extreme and doesn't get any worse, and if it doesn't hurt you of course.

Well I guess I can always add in some direct glute work, but I've kept it fine since before 3pl8 was my max.

>Pussypad

Ive squatted in barefoot for a good long while, is that alright or do you really need oly shoes to be performing at max

I use a 1" bar so I'll be fucked if I'm not throwing some 25mm pipe insulation on it.

The grip part of an olympic bar is 1.1 inches in diameter
You're a faggot

Knees are caving in when going down, that could lead to injury later in time. Consider deloading a bit to practice. Otherwise depth is good

hows my form guys?

>low bar squatting is preferential and keeping weight on your heels is objectively wrong - your weight should be over the mid foot throughout the entire rep.
dumbass, when someone is squatting on your toes you tell them "heels" so that they will consciously shift the weight back and the bar will actually travel over the midfoot. if they go too far back you adjust. it's a verbal cue, not an anatomical treatise on proper squat form

just go parallel

Why the fuck are you pushing your ass out? It's a squat..You bend your knees and squat down and everything else happens naturally...

Are you actually overthinking a squat? WTF

Can’t emphasize this enough**

It doesn't look like your knees are tracking over your feet properly, which is quite dangerous. Face your feet inwards a bit.

You are wearing a hoodie as well ffs man....

Northern Ireland, the temperature was pushing 0 degrees celsius for a good part of the last few weeks. Had to wear leggings under my sweats and a coat until I properly warmed up.
