On the thing about not being able to tell if your are having correct form I wanted to clear that up a little. You are absolutely right that most people will assume they are doing it right of course but on the major points of form you certainly can figure out the right way of doing it if you are willing to do it.

Basically what I was saying about not being able to correct form because of faciliation/inhibition in a GENERAL sense has a lot to do with the weight you are using. Basically if you have an imbalance it will rear it's ugly head once the load is heavy enough. If the load is light enough it is quite possible, and is usually the case, that the imbalance won't come into play so that you can conciously work on correct form.

Sometimes with relatively minor problems all you need to do is lighten the weight and build it back up. Expecially since a lot of the problems are caused by starting too heavy in the first place and exaccerbating whatever minor imbalances were there. So just taking the time to progress slowly while learning and maintaing proper form can make a huge difference.

But in a more SPECIFIC sense I was talking about something like over-pronation. It could be the problem comes from these imbalances like I talked about before so that just lightening the weight and learing correct form and all that would solve the problem or it could be that you are a person who habitually overpronates. Meaning you do it when your walk or whenever. And in that case just learning proper squat form ain't going to help. Because if your can't do everyday activities without overpronating you certainly ain't going to squat weight without doing it.

Probably though your problem is not that severe and you can correct it. I don't know for sure of course HOW you can do that but if you are having problems with form then lighten the weight to one where you can nail it.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
