i notice that when i squat (HB) at the bottom i use exaggerated bounce like the lifter in the video.
is it ok to use this exaggerated bounce at the bottom for strength purpose because i get the feeling that i can lift more weight like that but not get stronger.

just curious: is there any particular reason why you are doing high bar squats?

i started lifting with HB and when i tried to switch to LB i could not bend over enough so the bar will be in the middle of the foot. as a result of that my knees slide forward and the squat end up like HB with LB placement.

What do you mean, exaggerated bounce? He's descending really quickly into the bottom position, and as he gets tired this becomes more pronounced. But hell, you'd get tired, too, with that much weight on your back. At any rate, it doesn't seem to be a problem for him to do it that way.

Damn, that's 660 pounds for six reps.

I'm confused... are you saying you are NOT the lifter in the video? If not, why post another person's video?

If he were the dude in that video, he wouldn't be asking for advice here on how to squat. I agree, however, if you want to know what others think of your squat form, posting someone else's video is not going to help anything.

Nice find. Killer lifts all around, very nice snatch. :)
