Not really much problems,I have in the early days before I really learnt how to squat, ie before I bought SS.having said that my squat looks nothing like the one described in SS nowdays!! I get zero knee pain from wide stance to parallel or slightly lower.

Hips need attention tho, they can hurt sometimes, but you already do a tonne of mobility and foam work so cool.

Throw a vid up when you do them if you can.

i will....all available angles :)

I would like a close up of the booby hair.

7/13

wide stance box squat: 135, 2 x 5, 1 x 9

uni rdl's: 40, 2 x 10

uni db rows: 40, 3 x 8

palloff press: mini band, 3 x 6

rear delt flyes: 5, 2 x 10

got some vids that will be up in a second...i can't figure out how to turn the fuckers....even downloaded a video editor...but it didn't have an option for rotating videos. dumb. i'll figure out something later :)


vids of 135:



view from the rear for hops:

Why did you do them so slowly?

new movement...the hips are not very happy with me :) i'm gonna have to do alot more adductor stretchings....and the turn to the side hip flexor stretch. i was very cautious on the descent...at the bottom..it was not very pleasant until i got towards the end of the sets.

Looks pretty tidy Pitski, stance looked great, nice n wide, hard to tell from those angles tho!! How did that happen?

Whats with the Manta Ray? I'm guessing to keep the shoulders happy?

I would probs throw a pair of hi top chucks on tho if you got em for a bit of support.

How did you like them, how did the hips like em?

Ok I see you answered my hips question,once you get used to the movement it will become automatic.

It still takes me a while to warm the hips up to get to the box too.

Whats the turn to the side hip flexor stretch?

manta ray does keep the bicep tendon happy :)

did you like the ass shot video...that should have given you an idea of how wide. i tried wider...but it was not in the cards today :)

if you do the hip flexor stretch with your back foot up on a bench....do that and then turn your torso towards your forward knee...really hits near the groin and down the inner thigh. that's where i was really hurting today. i'll throw on the skater shoes next monday :)

definitely gonna take some gettin used too....about twice as wide as i usually squat.
