squat question

swordfish · 02-03-2007, 01:13 AM

A question to the veterans regarding back squats that pertains to hip weakness. When i unrack the weight it feels extremely heavy however i can squat pretty strong.. It seems like it could be my abs too that are factoring into my weakness. i did think of doing some heavy walkouts after my workout to address the issue and also doing some more HEAVY ab work such as decline situps with weights...

but maybe im doing good squatting?? i did 265x8 ATG(alllll the way down) with a pause at the bottom, however i deadlifted 415x5 conventional the other day..

any suggestions ??

Do some core work. Try that on for size for a while. Do some hypers, side bends and things like that. But thats just what I would do.
