Hey guys, just wondering, is mark actually wrong or does this guy interprets it wrongly.
I've been using the hip dive for a couple of months now, after learning about it.. Was looking at mehdi's (stronglift dude) deadlift, hes also pretty high up, and not much of a hip dive. But personally, i feel with the hip dive, it forces me to go down lower, both on squats and deadlifts, putting more pressure on my legs compared to my back..which IMO feels a lot safer and injury free.

you are going to get heavier DB's right?
Cause doing the same weight will not get you much results after a couple of days/weeks |

Hey sifu's!
Just want to ask your opinion on this. Recently i joined a new gym with ana ctual squat rack. Previously i was at CF doing squats with the power rack. The problem is now i have noticed my form is just plain right shit. I bend in front too much when i squat down. I read that this may be really bad in the long run as i could injure my back. What advice do you give in order for me to actually squat properly. even with free weights, my body automatically tends to lean forward when squatting. Thank you! |

QUOTE(razorboy @ Oct 29 2014, 07:53 AM) 1) Do you squat high bar or low bar? Hey thanks for the suggestion on the mobility workouts!2) Youtube - Bryce Lewis Lower Body Mobility 3) Record a video and post it here so we can see clearer 4) Are you engaging your core as much as possible? If you're not familiar on how to do so, place your arm between your lower and mid back, take a big deep breath into your stomach and slower exhale and tense your abs as hard as possible, you should feel your back muscle pushing onto your hand. 5) A slight forward lean is okay if you squat lower bar and have a much longer lower body. Unless you're doing a good morning with the bar and you're experiencing butt wink, a slight forward lean is acceptable. 6) If you DO have a butt wink, it's important to have the mobility to open up your hips, push out your knees and engage your glutes. I'll go into details only if you do have it.  Ill try to get a vid, just moved to a new country and have no gym mates at the moment, so migh be a little hard! A quick question on the mobility stretches, i noticed no where in the video or other videos/sites did they mention the frequency of the stretches. Should i do it before my squats, or is it alright if i did it daily to loosen up my body. I know my legs are pretty stiff, and i have a groin injury that might also be contributing to this problem. Hopefully i can get rid of this !  |

Hey guys. Been facing this problem for the past two weeks. For some weird reason when I'm deadlifting and squatting, the heel of my right leg tends to go up and not stay firm on the floor. I tried forcing it down but it involuntarily still comes up for some unknown reason. Any idea why?
Additional info: I lift barefoot and have tried dropping weights but still the same. Also problem just began like 2-3 weeks back. Never faced this before. Problems oy on right leg. Thank you! |

QUOTE(GameFr3ak @ Mar 6 2015, 03:56 PM) squat down slowly, do you feel tightness on your right leg? Could be lack of mobility on that leg... Dont feel any tightness what so ever. Mobility definitely is lacking as i had a groin injury + i was a fat fck, and im still working on mobility, but im sure thats not the problem. This thing has only plagued me for the past 2 odd weeks. Never had this problem prior, ruling out mobility...right?Asked a doctr friend of mine, he said my calf's could be a little tensed, and he recommended stretching them out. |
