Looks real good. Good speed down and up. try to keep those kness out on one of the reps I see your knees were shaking a little . Keep it heavy and keep it growing

Form looks much better man - nice weights too, but your strong


But I think you will get more benefit from 3 reps but more sets to make up the volume. I can see slowing down on the later reps. Doing low rep sets avoids this.

also your rounding your lower as you rock back, keep it tight and arched. There is no need to rock back, just sitback and down, stay tight and then blast up and forward.

Very nice....and good music too.

I normally do those with a narrow stance, and they are quite a bitch wide!

The side view is easier to see. I noticed rocking on the box, which makes your knees come in, the arch lose tighness, the knees pass the toes which recruits more quad. I'm sure at that weight, you're just thinking about standing up with the damn thing...been there!

Very nice!!! good depth and hips back. Your lower body will be nice and sore tomorrow. You also seem like you are pretty tall. What is your height?

PH, how does your low box number compare to your parallel and high box?

My parallel box is definitely a lot higher. I would say close to 100 pounds. I guess that kind of tell me something.....hmmmm

 

[spatts]

Yeah, looking at the difference between the three can be a helpful indicator of hip strength relative to back and hamstring strength...and how much speed is a factor, etc.

I can only imagine the stress your lower spine and vertebrate is going through with the constant sitting down and backwards lean you are doing...

don't think I will be trying these... but if they are working for you... keep it up.
