Hi coach.
I would be more than happy if you could review my technique.
I had a broken knee cap ligament in my left knee more than a year ago (playing soccer), and started squatting and DL?ing again this January.

Thanks for commentos regarding the technique.

Well, I don't know. But if he has, he didn't understand it!

Have you read BBT?

Yes, and watched the DVD. The DL several times. Why? Am I missing something?

Thanks for a prompt reply. Regards

Just a couple of things. You're deadlifting a light weight with an alternate grip in gloves while standing in front of a mirror looking at yourself pull the bar forward off the ground. You're squatting in front of a mirror looking straight ahead, probably still wearing your gloves, with the bar in the high position and with your knees sliding forward at the bottom while your low back rounds off, doing sets of 8.

Well, thanks for your response.
Who cares if I use gloves or squat in front of a mirror?
The guy in this video used knee straps and a lumbar belt squatting a high bar with 315lbs, not going below paralell for 10 reps outside the squat rack, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVKEl4Wxoqc

Yes, all that is obviously correct. But at least the guy in this video has read the fucking book.

Good reply. You are right, it?s a "fucking" book & useful to get some tips, but the DVD is good.
I used fast forward and watched the DL; I took a couple of good things out of if: scapulas over the bar & shoulders in front, etc..

Take care.

I disagree. That's obviously a low-bar squat, no matter what you wish to say about the reprobate in the video.

I think someone in this thread is confused about squat depth. Yea, definitely didn't read the book.
