I missed out on seeing Pedro and Darkie

That being said, three separate people came up to me while I was in KL and pointed out that I've lost a shitload of weight.  Which I know   On the other hand, I think the weight loss is helping bring out my horse shoes!  So there's a silver lining in every cloud.

some progress pics to share..

Bruised rear delts? That's a really odd case. I remember having sore rear delts when I first started and have no problems after awhile.

For the low bar setup, your rear delts act as a shelf when flexed - squeeze your shoulder blades back (not to the point of stressing it too much) and closer to one another, that would flex your rear delts and create an ideal spot for the bar to rest on. You should be holding onto the bar with a thumbless grip and leaning your torso forward slightly. For better stability, try bunching your traps up and keeping a closer grip ie. where the hands are placed on the bar. Keep them close, but again, not to the point of placing additional stress to them.

Not sure what went wrong as you didn't really explain where you place the bar in detail.

video or it didnt happen.

5'2'', yes i know im a midget -__- but im 16 and hoping i still have time to grow.
Around 130lbs/58-59kg.
For 305 i was wearing a belt. But when i did 295 for 3 reps i didnt realize i didnt have belt on until i was finished with the set xD

normal lah bro
the flabby shyte around the arms and back and the love handles memang require lots of work (i have them)
depending on aim lah
u can get rip first (cut cut cut) then bulk
or add clean mass then cut

i have acquaintances who did both types and they managed to get good results

but really bro
some of them invest a lot of time telling people about the real history behind bench press and tyre pushing and front squats and hack squats and dumbbell swings etc, but all i see is flab
how lah?
ahahaha...
i mean why i like bodybuilding is becuase its important that people 'think' you can bench press 100kg and 120kg squat but in reality u actually bench 50-60kgs and squat 40kgs je but they dont know, all they see is horseshoe triceps and bomber chest and killer quads
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Yo fellas. Not really a progress pic of bodybuilding but more of a progress on cutting. It's a b**** but I guess it's working. A lot of you have met me before but not really in a cutting phase. It's a b****. Started just 1.5 weeks of cardio. Lost 2 inches from waist and 4 kgs of bodyfat. Still maintaining arm size of 17.6 inches or so but I'm worried that i'm gonna start losing lean muscle soon.

imho, the depth is good enough although you may go a lil lower but not until your back starts to round...  and again, i feel that many does the same knee pushing out syndrome, not just you, but even those who squat in my gym...

to illustrate it easier, think of trying to sit on a chair kind of squat.... instead of going to the olden days pail toilet to squat and poo

how tall are you? imo if you go any lower you're gonna hit the safeties already

^
I agree, maybe a tad bit lower would make it parallel.
Dislocate at the hips first before you dislocate at the knees (just like you're sitting in a chair).
Can't tell from the angle, but don't let your knees buckle in. Push out with them if you go heavy.

try not to let your knees slip too front out from your feet...i don't know if its the camera man, but he should really film in such a way the camera is exactly on your right/left right angle, that angle he recorded isnt really the best view to judge

in squat1.wmv, 0:29 is a very good angle to judge... should suggest your friend to stay at that spot to record

Like some have already mentioned, you broke at the legs first instead of the hips. But on the way up, you drove with your hips so good job on that. On your last few reps, you could be seen using more lower back strength, close to doing a good morning but I guess that's normal since you were almost out of gas kot? lol.. but still try to avoid that la if possible. On depth, I would actually go lower until the crease of the thigh is higher than the knee.

The way I see it, your knees buckled in, from pointing outwards to pointing slightly straight ahead. I seem to have the same problem though, could be due to heavier weight. Well, I guess as long as they aren't pointing inwards, we should be safe.

Overall your form is quite solid. Few tweaks here and there and you'd be squatting close to perfect.

ps. It's not everyday I come across someone squatting barefoot

Edit: My bad on the issue of the knees. The knees should not buckle in at any time; should always be pointing where the feet does.

my hams lagging compared to my quads. any tips? hehe
