Throw em up then.

great thread, we could all use some help with squat form. I notice that you begin to lean forward little by little as the reps continue, however , your back doesn't round over and u don't go into that horrible "good morning" position when you get tired which is good. like what everyone else said, it doesn't seem like you are sitting into the squat and flat shoes or barefoot would help that, but more than anything the psychological emphasis on putting the weights on your heels. the way you are squatting now, you'd probably be more comfortable with some 10s to step on your heels as that allows the knees the travel further forward and a bit more emphasis on the quads and less on glutes. I'm not sure what ppl's thoughts are on that type of squat, but I know it can be stressful on the knees and you won't go as heavy.

Yep.. go a little deeper and a little slower to help with proper form.. and always sport the converse =) helps!

Before I joined the Corps, all I did was Powerlifting (and had to work a lot to improve my running, now im a champ, anyways...) and didnt go past parallel. Now, being in the corps, and getting into Olympic Lifting, I make sure to go as deep as possible.

It looks better, and feels better. After a good set of Clean Squats, or Clean Pulls, I nearly pass out. Then endorphines take over, and everything looks vivid and like a snap shot.
