Thanks, but there's one thing I'm still not clear on...should I wear a belt during squats?
Just kidding, I'll put it away. Guess it's one of the few bad habits I held on to.
Well it's good to hear that there's nothing horribly wrong with my form. I thought my knees were too far forward and I also thought I noticed a slight rounding of the back one one or two reps at the bottom. So this is a very good review for me. I'll try to bring my feet in an inch or two. Oh, and about 10 minutes after I finished my workout today, my Otomix shoes finally arrived, so no more flip flops. LOL I'm not sure which method would be better for me, but I think I'm going to try to find or make some 1 1/4lb plates and try out the microloading technique first. If that doesn't work, then I'll go to the 75% method. One statement I'm not sure how to take is this...

Anything you attribute to bad form on the 155 pound squats looks more to me like you working with weights that are pretty heavy for you. But I will watch them again a couple times to see if I can add anything....

Are you saying that the weight is too heavy for me? Or that it's just what happens when working with heavy weight?
And lastly, on a serious note, is there
any exercise that the weight belt should be used? I use (make that used to use) it on the squat, row and dead. I only ask because I know Rip mentioned the belt in his book, but I forget the details of when to use it.
Thanks again Eric, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out here.;)
