How To Squat - Form Tutorial

http://www.synergy-athletics.com
At the gym, eveyone has their own opinion on proper squat form. Here is the form video from a Division I Strength Coach. Yes the plates are clear plastic for form and tutorial videos.

Not the athlete pushing their hips back and maintaing a straight bar path during the squat exercse.

[jhashey]

nice video. But why does every time when im trying to focus on push with the heels, i always kind of tip off backward? like falling backward? How can i fix that?

[jhashey]

@WuTang011 could be a lot of things, do you have a video of you squatting so I could help? - Joe

I want clear weights

[comish60]

Any tips for extending your hips so low? It looks like they are almost lower than the knees. Are there any recommended warm up routines before the start?

@BurntOrangeNation22 well you definatley wont win any competitions woth that weight, but its is okay for beginners

Good video. Would like to see from the front or even downward facing angle for proper foot placement. I have a hard time knowing if I've got my feet too wide or pointed out too much. Thanks.

Okay so I just turned 17 and can currently squat at a max of 355 lbs. and I weigh approx. 155 lbs. Is that good for my age/weight???

[PliniusMuscleHeaven]

All right, so far I've never trained wrong as it seems. But what about the knees? Do they lock out at the end position or not? Some say yes to flex the quads, some say no because that may put too much pressure on the joints (while "resting" without muscle control).

k so...i can't keep my knees behind my toes.... is that bad?? how can i tak care of that?

[mrjo0e1]

i always hear to never bring your knees past your toes, is that true.

[StokedBeastMotoDr]

i find it hard with my body type to go oly style squating when i make my legs wider its buch easyer to go lower and is it safer on the knees in the long run?

@TheOriginalBoarders your good with parallel. my knees dont like the ATG style too much. but parallel squats make them feel healthy and strong.
