Uspa will still call you on that

2018-02-20 14:49:20 UTC  

Hasn’t happened yet but I’ll keep it in mind, I want to compete again in about 6 months

This was my third set of five here. I'm comfortable with my form before then, but what's your opinions on my form once I'm beginning to get tired?

2018-02-21 23:17:25 UTC  

Good squats. Really try to push through your heels, they're coming up as you go down

2018-02-22 00:13:21 UTC  

Yeah, might help if you used oly shoes, especially since I'm assuming you squat high bar

2018-02-22 03:34:27 UTC  

+1 on oly shoes. I use adipowers and squat high bar. They are fantastic and you can get them on sale ~$100 if you search

2018-02-22 03:55:46 UTC  

I normally squat only in socks. Forgot to here lol

2018-02-22 04:21:45 UTC  

I never understood the lift in socks meme

2018-02-22 04:42:12 UTC  

I use the Reebok lifters and they were only like 90

2018-02-22 04:42:53 UTC  

People lift in socks because you get more contact with the ground and don't have a soft shoe throwing off your balance/making your area you are pushing off smaller

best angle for form videos for squats or bench press?

2018-02-22 17:36:18 UTC  

Squat would probably be side, hip level angle. Bench would be directly in front and right above imo

@everyone How do I make a private YouTube channel for this? I thought I'd attach a video directly but Discord maxes out attachments at 8MB.

2019-01-04 17:23:13 UTC  

I think you would want to make a separate, anon google account and then when you upload, you have the option for public, private, and unlisted.

2019-01-04 20:50:23 UTC  

@Ben - OH Is diesel so he must be doing something right.

2019-01-08 02:45:15 UTC  

I can't view the video :(

2019-01-08 02:47:36 UTC  

yeah, not opening on my phone either

2019-01-08 07:01:13 UTC  

oof.

2019-01-08 07:14:08 UTC  

You seem to want to move forward on recovery

2019-01-08 07:14:37 UTC  

maybe having your front foot out more will help

2019-01-08 07:16:20 UTC  

having a more aggressive stomp would help too

2019-01-08 07:16:46 UTC  

That makes sense, I tend to lose the bar forward a lot.

2019-01-08 07:19:21 UTC  

the side view at 3:28 is a great example

2019-01-08 07:19:48 UTC  

even at maximal weight, he's aggressive and stable

2019-01-08 07:28:43 UTC  

A good que might be to really try and refrain from any pressing of the weight and focus on driving with the dip and front rack and dropping under to catch

2019-01-08 07:29:14 UTC  

would help with the dip and drive and catch/lockout at the same time

2019-01-08 07:30:50 UTC  

Thank you so much @Deleted User ! Lot of good advice!

2019-01-11 01:04:15 UTC  

@Matthias sorry for the late response — is an anonymous google account with a private upload safe enough to show my face in? Or would I also need to conceal my face in any videos I upload?

2019-01-11 01:37:38 UTC  

I'd err on the safe side.
