This.

If you can do good OHS, you'll have really good back squat form..

If you can't do OHS at all, your back squat form prolly isn't as good as it could be.

135 OHS?? Video tape it that's impressive.

I tried with the bar the other day because of this thread. First time since high school and I have 0 mobility in my hips. What should I do yo fix this?

reset stats and put more stats in mobility

familiar with yoga? If you are I can tell you some poses that'll open you up
If you aren't...
Get a foam mat or whatever is comfortable to stretch on for 15-20 minutes
Do the classic "playboy" position you'll be sitting on your butt legs out in front pull one up to your chest / stomach hug it and cross it over to your opposite leg
This is a decent stretch
If you have a jump box put one leg up as if you're going to make an "L" shape with it so if it's your left leg your bottom part of the leg will be towards the front of the box and your quad will naturally be lining up to make the "L" shape - try and bend further into the stretch while pushing your hips down to really get those hip flexors opened
You can also do the same stretch above on a mat once you become more mobile flexible might take a while ( you should be holding these stretches for 2 minutes on each side and rotating until you feel loose
Another is to lay on your back and take one leg completely over to the opposite side if you're doing this correct you'll feel a HUGE stretch in your glutes and your hip
Also foam roll your it bands

Thanks for the good info. Quality post.

I actually did something to my IT band last summer in my left leg and had to get physio therapy and see a chiropractor 3 times a week. They did this ultrasound thing and straightened me out.

Any pictures on the last stretch? Kinda confused on how you're describing it

Think of yourself as hands on a clock
Your torso should be in line with "12"
your leg should be between "3-4" depending on your flexibility
Your "resting" leg should be in line with "12" as well
Your arms and head should be facing the OPPOSITE way of whichever leg is being stretched ( so if your stretched leg is at 3-4 ) your neck and arms should be at 5-7 ;
I keep one hand on my hip to make sure I'm stretching my glutes and hamstrings enough I can feel it just more intimate stretching for myself
IT bands are over looked so much...they really should be stretched and actively stretched prior to ANYTHING. Probably one of the highest causes of injuries that lead to ACL tears / MCL / knee tears are IT bands being super stiff.

Outside of what I just mentioned my favorite to stretch my hip is called the "frog"
Lay stomach down on a mat
Left leg comes up and makes an L ( the key here is to keep your groin touching the mat ) this one is hard but the more you do it the easier it becomes
Eventually your stretch will have your leg perfectly shaped like an L and you'll be flat on the mat sometimes having a partner force your groin and hip ( or your knee ) to stay down is helpful but isn't needed all of my stretches can be done solo over time
I hold these shorter lengths 1 minute rotating sides until I feel limber

2 Rep Max Overhead Squat is at 255lbs now. My video of 225 is still up on my thread somewheres. Good lift but if you have a good squat and the required flexability in your shoulders your max is basically relied on how much you can get overhead.

Joe's 1RM is probably over 300
