Bar on your rear delts

What about the inclination of your back ?

 

[wnt2bBeast]

so what is supporting the bar? if it is not on your taps wouldent you have to bend over more....the bar is going to be inline with your heal or a little between heal and mid foot.... if you put the bar lower you can keep the line of center the same.. but you have to bend over farther if you dont bend over farther then the bar will want to roll down your back...has no support... the bar would be on an incline...and be hard to keep ahold of using your arms..

put the bar wherever you want..in te picture i gave you there is prolly over 800lbs of tension at the top between te plates and te bands..doesnt look like hes having trouble supporting teh bar..also look at those that squat big weights im talking about 800+ the bar is almost always low never is it sitting on the neck..keeping an arch in your lower back as well as a belly full of air will help support the bar

I never said put it on your neck....the bar sets on my traps and is just under my 7th cervical vertebra.... the bone that protrudes the most..
but i do have a fairly long neck..and drouping sholders...
.......is seems to me you would have to roll your shoulders forward...you chould keep your back straight but would have to almost look down ....... while squating??
but thanks... maybe i am different because of my neck and shoulders..
I have to figure this out so i know the correct way for each body type and why...
........hope i dident get on your nervous... I am such a freak about form and body machanics.....i have to understand everything about it.. I dont want to be the guy at the gym giving wrong advise...( I hate that shit )

And he is one HECK of a guy. I met him last Summer...one of the kind of guys I could just sit around and talk to for hours. Hilarous person with SOOOOO much knowledge. I feel bad that I never did one of his pling shows before I moved.
