Dom, Butt WInk + Squat PB 117kgx3 Jan 20th

I am working on my squats, deadlifts and cleans and someone finally brought to my attention that i Butt wink. Had to figure that out what that was and checked some videos of what exercises to do to help erradicate it.

I fear that some of my lower back flexibility is poor due to a car crash i had a number of years ago where i herniated a disk in my spine. I was physio'd to do lots of stretching but that only aggrivated the nerve in my lower spine, I ended up deciding not to bother stretching and live a life of poor flexability but no nerve pain. I then got back into the gym then felt my spine twinge when doing a heavy wieghts on shrugs about a year ago so i rested it and then decided i was only going to work on the core exercises like those mentioned in the 531 programme which i so far have had a lot of sucesss with and constantly getting good gains with.

from doing squats and deadlifts i have no pain in my lower back but i think the saying of "if it aint broke, dont fix it" does not exist in weight lifting so can you help me fix it and indeed if it is something that you think needs fixed?

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

@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

@jb0ne12 ooh thanks for the link

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

I'm generally do bodybuilding and not powerlifting.

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

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.
