Squat Fail

For squats, it works best when you come up from the bottom at least as many times as you go down. This month, I had some trouble getting out of the hole. Luckily I had the camera on me. I’ve been getting video more often because I want to keep an eye on my depth.

Although I’m getting close to where I want to be with my lifts I think I have stalled out a bit.

I had been approaching 315 but given my little stumble here I decided to lower the weights and gradually work my way back up. An even 315 will have to wait for another few months.

What Happened

A buddy that saw the video noticed that my heels came up a bit such that I was on the balls of my feet.

some bad shoulder mobility
bar placement higher than normal
back angle was too forward for the high bar placement
ended up on the balls of my feet and lost my balance

Besides lowering the weight I need to focus on sitting back into the squat. Keeping the weight on my heels.
