So last week I posted a thread asking about my depth, and a few commented on my form. I've tried just about everything, but I think I'm still "hinging" my back through the squat. I'm wondering what issues you guys can spot in my form that I haven't fixed from last time. I'll show a heavy set and a quick working set I did (a bit exhausted) and post the vid from last week as well.
I appreciate all the help I've gotten so far.

Last week's video. I'm trying to keep my head back and stick my chest out more too by the way.
Form looks fine, but you do not need a belt for the weight you are doing.
Not insulting you, just saying you are robbing yourself of support strength gains and are only increasing risk of injuring yourself by lifting heavier than you're ready for.
His form does not look fine. His chest should be rising in tandem with his hips not after
That heavy attempt was super clean this week, it looks like you're rushing through your working set, that's all. Take your time, don't stand there with the weight or anything but don't rush through the set either.
Everything else looks cash, your heels were glued to the floor, you were explosive, you kept your chest out better, overall it was clean.
Only thing you did wrong was wearing that gay ass belt on low weight
My back gets fatigued quicker when I don't use it, I like to focus on my legs when I squat. I also have a sore back from back day yesterday, so it helps keep me from over working those muscles.
Can you give me an example? The only thing I feel like I can do is buy some squat shoes and try doing olympic squats.
Deload b4 u ender snabciddy
I'm actually taking 5 days off now, I'm 11 weeks into heavy lifting and I was due for a rest week a good week ago. Then I'll reload before getting back into heavy weight.
not using enough hamstrings which makes your back round in the hole. Sit back more at the start of the lift and try to keep that tension on your hamstrings for the entire descent of the lift.
>275
>heavy
All start somewhere.
Everyone's different you dyel shitlickers
Feet need to be wider, torso more upright.
your elbows being so far back shows you don't have an open chest or much thoracolumbar tension/control.
Take that belt off and work on your form fella.
I see 45, 45, bar. Where are you getting 275?
I'm trying man
The first one has a 25 in front of them.
You should ask these questions exclusively in /plg/ and only take advice from tripfags who have posted videos of themselves lifting heavy. Most of Jow Forums will tell you that your form is off because you did/didnt do some inconsequential bullshit that they heard from a literally who on the internet.
not too bad but you seem to be limited by ankle mobility given your femur length, so either pick up some WL shoes or switch to a less upright style of squat
well, fix those 3 things and you'll see improvement m8.
you might be weaker in the proper position for a week or 2, but you'll make better progress than before in no time.
I'm getting mixed opinions from this and plg, they think I might need to be less upright.
depends what your goal is, plg is about squatting the most weight in which case they'd probably have a point
if your goal is just anterior chain development then you'd want to be more upright
This, but it can be fixed pretty easily by going more slowly at a lower weight. More specifically, your ass is rising before you lock your hips forward, so it gives a "one-two" movement instead of a single fluid motion. It's pretty easy to let this happen on heavier weights, so try deloading to get the form down and retry. You should feel it much more in your glutes.
45×3=135 +25+25 still ain't getting your math bitch
What? Check your eyes, there's 2 45s on each side.
If you want to develop athletic ability and proper positioning and posture for oly lifts, high bar is the way to go.
If you want to add numbers to your squat, go sumo and lowbar.
You can cover your bases as far as muscular development with squats and deads and you'll be better for it.
At the end of the day i'm giving you sound advice, so go try it and see how your squat goes.
>Feet wider
>Elbows forward enough to open the chest, you might feel a slight tightness in your posterior rotator cuff at first with this
>practise TL junction control so you don't end up doing good mornings instead of squats. Supermans can be a good cue as an excercise to practise keeping it tight.
Why do people hate belts?
Butt out more
So less upright?
His torso should be straight up through the squat, he shouldn't lean forward period.
Go deeper faggot.

nice argument DYEL, he's right about every point he made
torso angle is a function of anthropometry, OP has long femurs and will never be upright in the squat
because they're fucking clueless
Wow just stop posting for the rest of eternity you complete retard
post this in /plg/ lad, you will not get quality advice from mainstream Jow Forums these motherfuckers don't even lift
The reason low bar is used is that it is the only way your hip angle will allow for the greatest work of the hamstring. What-s the point of a high bar squat? Do a front squat at that point.
>why do the same squat literally every olympic powerlifter and decent squatter has done for the past century when you can lean forward at the bottom of your squat like a complete fucking retard
again, you're too DYEL and too stupid to even understand what you're arguing about
youtube.com
the best squatters (which includes weightlifters) squat upright because they are anthropometrically suited to squatting
you cannot be this upright with long femurs, it is not physically possible - the bar+lifter cg will not be over midfoot (it will be behind the foot) and the lifter will just fall over
I can't talk to the guy's credibility, but this sounds like a serious cope.
OP, chest out, tight traps, tight core, squat down and come up, this isn't rocket science. You are clearly shooting your hips up first, straighten your torso as your hips come up if you truly feel you cannot squat with an upright torso throughout the squat. But there should be no problem doing so, I've seen people of all shapes and sizes squat like they should.
high bar squat is a much more aesthetic lift though, lowbar is purely for boomer powerlifters that are trying to cope with their shit joints and mobility
t. sub 3pl8 squat
lmfao, cope
cope for what? Repping your 1RM?
your cope is that you just assume whatever makes you feel better rather than address the actual substance of my argument. that's what makes you a copelord. my highbar 5x5 working sets are 170kg so nearly 4pl8
Your "argument" is complete broscience with 0 regards toward physiology and physics. Also thanks for proving me right you absolute DYEL
>he can't squat because his body sucks not because his form sucks
We laugh at people like you in fph, there's nothing wrong with his femurs or genetics or anything else, he seems healthy, the weight he has on the bar is moving up quickly and he's easily exploding through his sets. All he needs to do is change his form up a little. He doesn't need to deload, he doesn't need to shorten his femurs, he just needs to drop down a little slower and work on keeping his back, core, chest, etc. right and tight.
And lose the belt.
it's actually common sense that highbar squats require more mobility and are harder on the joints though so i don't really see how you think that's broscience.
>more mobility
yes
>harder on the joints
I hear horror stories from people trying to switch to a lowbar squat and fucking their shoulders, wrists, or something else up. If OP can't tighten his chest out and bring his elbows down in a highbar squat, he sure as fuck shouldn't be attempting a lowbar. Some exercises are reserved for people with the mobility to do them.
Not who you're responding to but Tom Purvis absolutely knows his stuff! Just watch the video. He also shows real people with different limb lengths. Might be in part 2 or 3 of the series. It's an eye opener.
If your hips rise early it might be due to you putting too much pressure on your heel and letting your knees travel backwards too early when getting out of the hole.
At least that's what it was for me.
