Smth is wrong with my Squats. Felt some lower back pain (more like tightness). The the tightness disappeared after applying some pressure on it by rolling off the Bench with a curled back (bring knees to chest and roll forward off the bench). It's almost similar to using a foam roller.
I encountered the above problem a couple of times before but never knew what's wrong. My experience is that ^ is just the first symptom. If I ignore the pain and continue to go heavier, I'd ultimately be forced to take a break from gym due to back pain.
I actually copy pasted ^ from my Workout journal. Thought that I would more likely get answers here and I'm unsure where else to post. I'd to apologize for the above.
I only took the video from the side. Not sure whether that is enough for a diagnosis. DeAct
I'm not 100% sure from the video whether is it a high bar or low bar squat. Seems like high bar since your torso is mostly upright when you set the bar on your back.
Anyways, experiment with your feet width placement. Probably wearing a flat sole or weightlifting shoes would be beneficial.
Generally.... here is my "not-so-experienced" opinion on the squat;
Low bar squat = more hip hinge, sit back, hip drive on the way up.... feet placement is not that wide High bar squat = less hip hinge, sit straight down, quads on the way up/less hip drive.... feet placement wider
Thank you for all the tips that you guys have provided
How would I know whether it’s the right stance ?
You can read Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength or Greg Everett's Olympic Weightlifting book. Mark Rippetoe actually has some videos on youtube on the low bar squat.
