Squat depth looks good.

i'd say you're going even a little below parallel. angle is a little hard to tell. ignore all these fukbois telling u u aren't going paralell .

fuck atg

Form looks pretty good, keep up the hard work.

Squat depth looks good

Glad to see HnF still have common sense, and isn't overrun by trolls.

Solid Squats bro

Shoot elbows towards the ceiling so your chest is more up, keep your head up, weight towards heels

Great depth

and also, someone pointed out on not locking out your legs at the top

ive always been told not to do that, think it gets bad on your joints with all the weight stressing it down, where as if it isnt locked, the surrounding muscles are taking most of the pressure

Elbows up could cause forward lean, which would make him unbalanced. Most people suggest to drive elbows underneath the bar when ascending from the squat. Head up is also a bad cue because you want to keep a neutral spine. Very common to hear because it will bring your chest up, not worth it though. Weight towards heels is a common squat cue, though the goal is for weight to be on mid foot, again, to prevent imbalance.

The cues I use when squatting are:
Full body tightness
Neutral spine
Abdominal pressure
Weight on mid foot

Not really cues I guess, just what I think about before/during my squats.

I agree he has good depth and not to lock out knees.

thanks guy, I just hit 240 for 3 sets of 5 today. Weights still moving up. Although I do have to about 8 - 10 min break between squat sets as Rippetoe recommends. Probably another 10 pounds and need to do a deload on squat.

my deadlifts are moving up at lightning speed though, 10 pounds per deadlift workout (5 pound on average, since deadlift is every other workout). Already at 285 for 1 set of 5, and these doesn't feel too hard yet. Started with with only 135 1x5 8 weeks ago. I can see 3 plates 1x5 pretty soon.

bench is moving up linearly as well with no slow downs so far. started witn 85 for 3 sets of 5, just hit 155 for 3 sets of 5 today after 8 weeks. Strictly being adding 5 pounds to bench per workout.

Overhead pressed stalled at 115 on my 2nd set of 5 last week. So I deloaded to 100. Did 105 on monday, so I'm back to 110 on this Friday. These are my toughest lifts so far, but it's expected to stall the earliest on OHP.

Amazingly fast progression brah.

Great points

Full body tightness and keeping core tight

that should go for most exercises

even when doing bench

full body tightness + keeping core tight
