i just dont get the hip drive. is it you move you hip up first? if like that, you will use alot of your back muscle when lifting the weigh up into straight position. Why do you need to do hip drive?

I notice there is some difference to mikehuan squat between 80 and 100kg. the 100kg squat , i can see that his lower leg is straighter or nearer to pependicular compare to floor. in 80kg his lower leg is bending more. which is better form ?

I didn't get it at first either. But that hip drive helps involve the hamstrings into the movement, which in turn means more power to shoot you out of the hole. It fixed my weakest spot of the exercise, which was getting out of the hole. Your lower back would give out first before anything else, from my experience.. so squats isn't a primarily leg exercise, more to lower body.

One of the key things to look at during squat is your knees should not go past your toes, so imo I got better there.

I just got the best idea of a meme for razor. Anyone knows how to do meme'?

I should really try to bring up my squat poundages, but I'm more of a front squat, Hack squat guy. I admire guys like you and dark that can squat that much.

@mike btw, try to notice my trap movement in the video yea? Before starting the repetition and after I was done with it. A lot of guys make the mistake of hyperextended their lower back, in actuality it is the locking if the lats and traps at the top of the movement

get dark to take a look at your form if u train with him, otherwise, stick with hack squat. elevate your lower back and middle back, put a pad between your back and the back rest. Try and tell me how it feels

Read the article, very nice read, and funny to boot haha. To my understanding, sissy squats is an exercise to isolate your quads, something like leg presses. I think crabs goal and mine are different.

I'm doing squats to increase mass and strength, whereas crab is doing it to get bigger quads. For the moment I'm actually am just happy my legs are proportionate to my upper body. I suppose the cuts and definition would come in time. I'm just gonna focus on increasing my weights as fast as I can.

my turn, criticisms are most welcome! its far from perfect, long way to go. on another note, the 5 reps seemed easier than last time, probably from the GVT squats or form change, i dont know. either way im happy my strength level hasnt gone down ever since i started gvt.

100kg x 5 squat. did 105kg x 2, and 105kg x 3 after this set. lost balance on the third rep, weight got too in front on the way up.

60kg x 8 squat, last 2 reps stayed in the hole for a bit. this was the burnout set after the 105kg x 3

previous video of 80kg x 8 for comparison, i think the angle here quite similar so easier to compare
