holy shit, my ass and legs hurt. it was pretty cool though, i will definetely do it more. anyways, i wanted to make sure that i was doing it correctly, because i dont want to permanently fuck up my knees or back. i tried to follow most of the guidelines from the squat thread in the powerlifting forum, but i wanted some input on this.
- i placed the bar right below the spot where the neck meets the shoulders. i have a large deposit of fat there.
- my toes were pointed slightly outwards. about 60 degrees from my line of feet placement.
- i descended as far as i could.
- when descending, i tried to keep my shins vertical. didn't do it very well, but i tried.
- i *think* my lower back was straight. im not really sure, because i wasnt thinking about anything else except for getting the weight back up.
- before descending, i took a deep breath into the diaphragm and held it. when ascending, i let the air out.
i think that is all of it, for now. i will not tell you the weight, because it is woefully pitiful, but i did five sets of five.
thanks in advance for any advice.
