Don't look down when you're squatting. The body tends to follow the head. I'm not sure that Rip reccomends that though, does he?

Usually a low bar squat is not going to mean a terribly deep squat. Too much torso inclination so that looks like a problem right off the bat. You want to squat deep you want a high bar squat...the lower the bar the more difficult it will be to squat deep since the body will not be able to remain as upright.

Other than that you want to squat deep you need the hip and ankle mobility to do it. You need the core stability. You need to stay tight at the bottom. Otherwise the lower back will round out and you can get an ouchie.

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