Back squats are just regular squats - High Bar position with feet slightly wider than shoulders for Bodybuilding Squats or Low bar position with a wide stance for Powerlifting squats.

No Smith (EVER) and No Belt until you pass 225! :head:

You want to build up your spinal erectors. And really, for squats, imho, the belt should be worn fairly high to give abdominal suppprt not back support.

It's not pride sadly...I've tried to go back and work on my form. Used the bar only and I just can't seem to get that low.

I got ya.

Not sure what all you have tried, but a few tips
  • stretching your calves or maybe a few calve raises to warm them up.
  • Elevate your heels (blocks, plate, etc...)
  • Stretch your Psoas
  • Warm up your ankles, and stretch(?)

The lil lady can't full squat unless she has her heels elevated. And my son is just a goof ball so right now he is a lost cause :lol: but I know he is flat footed.
 
so in theory, this sunday I flip over to restricted calories for the last 4 weeks of the PAL transformation contest. I guess its not worth being on GVT for that, so i'll just finish this round of GVT and move to something else? I'll insert cardio back in for sure, but i'm not sure what to use for workout. Should I try GBC?

GBC is for cutting. And to replace cardio, so if you plan on cardio do it after the workouts.
 
The Waterbury Summer Project is a killer workout to cut up too, but unless you know how to do Olympic moves, it wouldn't be a good choice.

Thanks for the tips! I also have a congenital lower back issue...my sacroiliac is fused on one side, so it limits my lower back in some cases.

So you don't reccomend Easy trying an snatch with iron plates at the local "fitness center"!

Oops...sorry about that sir...I'm sure a few months of rehab will take care of that!
