Not sure if you still look at comments, but I have a few questions if you could help me out.

I've got an issue with the notorious "pelvic tuck" that plagues many ATG squatters. I was wondering if you ever dealt with this as a beginner? If so, what were the methods you used to eliminate it?

When you squat in the video, your torso seems to stay mostly upright -- olympic form to say the least. Obviously this is more difficult to lift heavy loads. Where did you start in weight for this form?

@RedWildz

1) no sorry I had no issues with pelvic tuck, I hadn't done much training before i started OLifting. I'm very flexible and I use to be skinny. Just work hard on stretching your hamstrings and quads daily. If you can't spare 15mins each day to work on it why bother? Most people are lazy, you don't have to be :)

2) I started with the bar and built up. That was 12yrs ago. Bar x 12reps x 3sets. Add weight when you can. I'd advise you to BUILD A BASE

[HeangKoing]

@HeangKoing 12reps x 3sets for 8-10 weeks

8reps x 4sets for another 4-6 weeks

6reps x 6reps for 4-6weeks

3reps x 6sets for 4-6 weeks

Repeat, but youd on't need to do the 12reps x3sets ever again. You need repitition to learn to squat well as well as a base. If you've done some training before you can jump in at 6reps x 6sets.

Not improved mate, hti a run of bad form!

116/142 @ 83.5kg. British 11th July then up to the 94's I go. I'm working extensively on pulls and deadlifts to increase my back strength as I'm ridiculously slow off the floor.

Your lifting really well man. Sweet improvements! Give me some!

[clearliquid]

did he just say light weight?

New video at last! Where have you been mate? And awesome squats! How tall are you?

@JordanSpecops123

Haha, late or not, thank you! I've done a large amount of research since that post and pieced together that hip mobility and upper back stability play the largest roles in maintaining a tight, upright position. At the time of that post I was around a 100 kilo squat... now going for a 145-150 kilo attempt sometime next week, ATG. :)

[JordanSpecops123]

@RedWildz Pelvic tuck is caused by Bad hip mobility. This can be fixed my stretching Hip flexors adductors glutes and doing hip mobility drills. If you wanna stay upright work on ankle mobility. I know you commented 6 months ago but aw well

damn, solid ass to grass lift lol. now this is what you call a REAL squat. probably 90% of people ive seen squats dont even do it with good form and reach at least parallel. squating atg aint bad for your knees, it actually strenthens it, and is better for your body. improves flexibility to.

You probably won't get fat eating like that, no.

[portugaljoao777]

hi, what is the length of your shins?

[gussinajninen]

@HeangKoing yeah I bet, what, 3 times a week? that's pretty much ^^ I think 2 should be enough, I go like once a week with legs. 1 Question, I have a little problem with my back, it is so long that the weight wanna push me down so that my back does alot of the work, How do i focus legs except looking and aim upwards. When I go heavy I use my belt for safety plus it stabilizes my back alot, but I want to learn how to go without belt, maybe just train with lesser weight and go focused and hard?

[HeangKoing]

@shankchamber666 it is easier to get stronger when your heavier or at least not cutting. I've only been on shakes for the past 5yrs. I take 3 shakes a day along with food but I'm gaining weight to fill out to a 94kg. Just eat and take shakes. It's a chore at times so I do it till I'm bored then I'll back off for a few weeks or months or so.
