Squat form?

jbish8 · 07-29-2009, 06:26 PM

A little afraid to ask, and not sure if I got the best angle but from what you can see, what if anything am I doing wrong.http://files.me.com/brucewayne8/0rnupe.mov

The last 2 reps, I see little rounding of the lower back....kinda difficult to clearly say, because of the side angle of the video, the plates and the rack also blocks the view.

I thought they looked great.

This is what I saw:

You seem to have a pretty quad dominant squat. You break at the knees before you break at the hips and I think this limits how far back you push your hips. It's a good squat, but I think if you focus on pushing the hips back and pulling yourself down into the squat, you'll incorporate the hips/glutes/hams a lot more.
