That's what I thought. You've got two things going on.
1) you're breaking your hips first. Then your knees. Don't. Next time, think "knees first" that should take care of that. We may need to work on something next with your knees. But we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Haha yeah, my thoughts are break hips (sit back) then knees. I'll see about doing something different next time.
Regarding knees, I have my feet mostly parallel, toe out a little bit. I push out with my knees so they stay tracking slightly outside my toes during the squat.
2) don't look at your crotch in the mirror. See if you can put the bar on the otherside of the squat rack. Just to eliminate the urge. Pick a spot on the floor 5' in front of you and look at it the whole time.
Yeah, that was definitely tough. I'll see if I can move the brackets to the outside of the rack and/or pick up a set. The weight is too much to power clean into a front squat, so I'm restricted to using the brackets.
Yeah, I'll definitely look at this as well.Both of these moves will force a slightly more horizontal back angle at the bottom. Which will engage your hips more.
Thanks for the thoughts!!! ?
