Yo, what's your bar position? Low or high? I'm having a hard time getting the low position right.

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

@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.

[daBOODA]

@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.

@daBOODA didn't know that. Why should i keep my head down ?

[daBOODA]

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

This is perfect Rippetoe form. Well done. Wish I could do that without fucking my back up.
