Novice lifter, squat Help Novice Lifter 2016-06-03 20:17:02 Post No. 37421953 [Report]

Hey /fit/,

I recently started squatting. I squatted low bar initially, but I found out I prefer the high bar position(movement feels more natural). A friend of mine made a video and I'd appreciate it if some of you more experienced lifters could give me feedback.

I am lifting 75kg / 165lbs, but I am not sure if I squat deep enough.

Sorry for the vertical filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40KtzItxSPc&feature=youtu.be

Any tips or advice are welcome.

Thanks

If you can squat deeper, do so.

That was parallel, or very close, so it's not a big deal.

Thanks, working on my flexibility to increase depth.

More opinions? Good enough form to go heavier?

If you are squatting high bar, go as low as possible, hamstrings to calf. Work on form.
pic related, how low I squat.

How can you go hamstrings to calfs? I literally have to raise my heels for that to happen. Even during warmup, the lowest I can go without losing tightness in my back is below parallel but not hamstring to calf.

This squat sucks fucking ass.
Very bad form with that butt wink.

OP, pleae don't focus on ATG. Instead try going below parallel with a straight back.
You can stand on small plates with your heels to get deeper if you don't have the ankle mobility yet.

Looking forwards '...interferes with the correct bottom position, with hip drive out of the bottom, and with correct chest position.'
