"and I think I farted, so I had to stop"

I LOLD

[Pravtsios]

If you don't feel any pressure, pain, or whatnot in your back it probably isn't an issue.

[lazarus554]

I'm generally do bodybuilding and not powerlifting.

[lazarus554]

Try lower back exercise: Low rows for back strenght also do chins or use pullover maching to put mass on your lats.

[lazarus554]

I wouldn't wurrie about the butt wink. If you look up at the celin to wall joint then you will have better balance looking fwd down at the floor and you will feel like you want to fall fwd. If you avoid lockout at the top you keep the legs loaded up all the time. If you straighten your legs at the top then you off load the weight to your joints.

another comment. sorry lol. i saw the comment where the guy brought the "butt wink" to your attention. i watched his squat video, and the way he got rid of his wasn't by flexibility or mobility, it was by squatting above parallel. those were NOT squats.

[jb0ne12]

and your squat form is actually very good. please don't let the stupidity revolving around the term "butt wink" drive you crazy. the term was probably made up by some assclown who never squatted before. and if he did it wasn't deep enough

[dombower]

@jb0ne12 thanks man i was and still am going a bit crazy about the winking. thanks

[jb0ne12]

Please, DO NOT worry about butt wink!!!!!!!!!!! it's a totally NATURAL part of deep squatting. watch this video of a 772 pound squat /watch?v=3xFm9q1HBKY a true, deep squat is actually centered around the top of the butt / lower back as explained in this video /watch?v=yha2XAc2qu8 he calls it hip drive, it's the same thing as butt wink. and you don't need the plates under your heels either. that looks uncomfortable and dangerous and generally unnecessary

[dombower]

@jb0ne12 ooh thanks for the link

[DoubleTwistingDouble]

you sure you just don't want people to have all eyes on your butt, dom? lol

[dombower]

@DoubleTwistingDouble when its that good you got to show it off!

[DoubleTwistingDouble]

@dombower HA! Totally!

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

scooby has great weight train vids and mega funny fella

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

i think your a strong mofo camera guy

[sharpy182]

I was always told to push from the heels on the way back up instead of my toes, I found that helped.

[estrm]

Hei dom, you dont have to sit so much down(so low) quz your then your butt is working, i do not think you want to have butt like a brick :P

[dlasusa]

Head on over to EliteFTS.com, head to the Q&A section and ask one of the strength coaches there. I definitely would NOT ask this sort of thing from YouTube. Some thoughts:

1. Might not be a strength issue (since it happens with light weight too, but a flexibility issue)

2. I'm not sure, since the one I've used is a bit different, but I think your gym has a Glute Hamstring Raise (the blue device).....LUCKY! if so.

3. weight on your chest is not "cheating" it allows u2 use different weights.

[dombower]

@dlasusa thanks for the tip, just gone and asked at the website.

[SpeedoJoe]

@dlasusa Jim Wendler's beard!

[TraceurZeno]

From my years of experience here are some things to think about. A lot of people say you knees should not go past your toes during squat. Work with a light weight until you get perfect form then up the weight. I have had many comments about not going past 90 degrees into a deep squat, but my answer to that is watch Olympic weight lifters they go deep and do not seem to have any knee problems, unless they lift obscene weight. My question to you, what do you want to achieve from weight training.

[dombower]

@TraceurZeno general awesomeness. is that too much to ask for!!!

[dombower]

@dombower that and also to be competing in the olympics in the top weight class this year.

[LCStreetPhotographer]

@dombower A few good videos from the guy I emulated to learn squats. deads, military, bench and powerclean

watch?v=kawBY5p29fQ

watch?v=yha2XAc2qu8

[TraceurZeno]

@dombower your already general awesomeness!

[SpeedoJoe]

I'm going to show this to my S&C coach who doesn't mind giving (actually good) advice on YouTube.

[SpeedoJoe]

Awesome video. I would strongly suggest against having your heels raised. I can't tell you why but it's basically never done.

[dombower]

@SpeedoJoe but i thought that was the hole point of weight lifting shoes, to give the heals a little raise?

[JonathanBloggs]

@dombower It is the point of lifting shoes. It says in starting strength not to put plates under your heels because "that's not fixing the problem" or somesuch bullshit, but then it also in the same book recommends that you get some good lifting shoes with raised heels. Rippetoe is basically a confused old man who is injured to fuck himself so I'd take everything he says with a grain of salt. (plates under your heels is probably fine but ask a better authority)

[LCStreetPhotographer]

@dombower I'll second the call to keep your heels planted. A great site would be EliteFTS.com as someone already said and I would also reccomend muscletalk.co.uk (powerlifting section). I started my powerlifting on Rippetoes starting strength, last few years i've ran 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler, Cant reccomend his programmes highly enough. I'll message you with some good links etc. My current PB's: Squat: 230kg, Dead: 297.5kg, Bench: 180kg , all for singles. Keep at it.

[SpeedoJoe]

@dombower I've heard that and it's probably true with some weightlifting shoes, but you generally don't want to do it if you're starting out. Seems like you'd want to get proper weight distribution nailed first.
