Is that all.lol. Been that way for years now

Glad you said that & not me

You will figure it out, keep at it.

Time to retire I think & get a rocking chair & a comfy pair of slippers.

Pink bunny slippers I hope.

I apologize for the abbreviated comments of late, keyboard is about shot, stalling

How is your overhead squat? Do you have issues with it?
What about side lunge?

I like the Tartan patterned ones.

No worries. Stop being so tight & get a new one

Not done those in quite a while but they are down on the to do list for videoing to see what is happening.

Painful & takes a few reps to warm up. There are issues with the Adductors as they insert into the groin & a need for greater mobility & flexibility.

Form check after a lot of mobility work.

I can still see some issues so lets see if everyone else sees what I'm seeing.

Bar placement is good. Hand position is very good - closer is always better. I think, and I'm speaking really as a Powerlifter here, that you need a wider foot stance and to turn your toes out more. Depth was really good.

Thanks Chris.

Foot width was one of the things I was thinking about as well. Some experimenting could be on the cards to see how my hips cope as the stance gets wider.

Been away for a bit, How's the squatting going?

Getting better. Working hard on the flexibility issues & have found the way I hold my head effects the way I drive back up quite a lot.

Been having one of the kids squatting a lot recently & their technique puts mine to shame Talk about a natural squatter. Up to 80 lbs already for a 3 reps

Its been the way the weights have increased this past couple of weeks that's blown my mind. At their current rate they'll be doing 100 lb squats in a couple of months easy.

good for them
