@KeepITUpp Oh I don't know if you *should* keep your head down. I'm just saying that it's a thing that Mark Rippetoe teaches so you will see people with their head down. I have no idea whether it's actually good or bad. I always look straight ahead but who knows whether it's bad, good or whether it doesn't matter at all. There are lots of opinions on the subject out there.
@KeepITUpp I don't know mate. I'm just saying that Rippetoe teaches head-down so you'll see people squating with their heads down. I don't know if it's right or wrong to be honest.
Unlike the deadlift where most people initiate the pull by pushing the floor hard with their legs, in the squat you think of pushing the bar up with your hips.
The legs will come into play anyway, utilizing the hips to get that extra ooomph is what it's all about.
Where I think many people get it wrong is by going too low and leaning too far forward, beyond what their flexibility will allow.
Yes, by all means push up with the hips but from a good starting position at the bottom of the squat.
Yo, what's your bar position? Low or high? I'm having a hard time getting the low position right.

@KeepITUpp Head down is part of how Rippetoe teaches power squat.

@daBOODA head position is irrelavant as long as your chest is sticking out.

Applying this 'hip drive' to my squats has improved my weights dramatically. Good lift!

I just remembered 'butt up, not chest' and my squat increased with 50 lbs instantly. And I leaned to far backwards.

what do you do if you fail
hash121212 1 year ago
seems to be hard to find in fact.
i'm inspired like you by rippetoe.
watch ed coan video, i think the key to hips drive is the fact to keep your shine bone perpendicular to the ground.
just like your body was rotating around your knees by pushing your ass back.
i found the motion, your squat is more powerful you lift the weight like nothing.
hope this help !

Looks good to me, but I'm not that experienced. Have you posted it on Rippetoe's board to get his opinion?
