Form looked good as hell. I noticed on the 355 your elbows started to flare up instead of staying down and foward which helps keep upper back nice tight and more stable. So maybe keep an eye on that.
Yet the more experienced could chime in. |

Looks good..maybe a tad lower, impressive. The music is loud in that gym, it's like a nightclub. |

yeah, I agree about the music good thing I get so zoned out that I don't hear the music and it was 4 am in the morning! was you talking about the last one the first two I thought I got past the 45 degree plain Even the last one I thought I got even with it I will look again.I'm all about getting low. That's why I did not show any higher ones. If I don't get that 45 degree I do not count it.
I do thank you for the compliment! |

I look at it again I think it was the strips on my sweat pants that made it look like I didn't go low enough but once I look at the out line of my legs It did look like I did get low enough.It could be just my wishful thinking.If someone else see this please let me know what you think I really do want to hit it right at this weight before I go up.Thanks again slimthugger if you do have a chance to look at it again please let me know If I need to get lower I will drop down on the weight until I do.I just would hate the set back if i do not have to. |

Just curious, but how tall are you? The reason I ask is that I have that exact squat rack in my home gym, and I have to have the pins set 3 holes lower in order to hit the right depth without the bar hitting them. I'm 5'11" so its not that I'm really short |

Damn good form, if you wanna increase your strength use the pins and start from the bottom side of the movement and focus on being explosive, oh and beat the Gym Manager with the bar and tell him to turn off the emo shit, some heavy metal or hard rock is alot better motivational tool lol |

No biggie, they look good as is. I just happen to be a a2g squatter. Not saying a2g is better but it's not for everyone. Keep it up!

Thanks but I thought about it and I'm going to try to get lower I've already move the pins down one. There is no reason to go higher if I can not get lower thanks again! |
