am i right about the hip drive at all? just wondering as ive been told to keep my back straight and drive through the hips
it would be a great idea to focus on maintaining a high chest and a rigid core muscles, and never letting your heels come off the ground of course.
To me the squat just falls to pieces once you begin to drop your chest. Because by dropping your chest, you've loosened up the fortress that is your core. No core = an invitation to disaster.
Or watch the bar during military press, otherwise you smash yourself in the chin with it on the way up.Same, here about chest, and head up, I was told to look at a spot high on the wall or roof, and watch it through the entire movement, for squats and deads.
Bloody hell Fadi, I''ve said it before & I"m sure as shit going to say it again: I want to be like you when I grow up. Being on the other side of 20, I guess I should really think about it hey!!!
I have 2 interesting questions that i'd love to hear what you have to say.
In terms of squatting infront of a mirror, what do you think? Is it actually necessary? Surely I can be just as, if not possibly MORE productive squatting in front of a mirrorless (is that actually a word?) wall? I've had tremendous results from facing AWAY from a mirror. I can't be sure obviously if it was not looking at the mirror, or if it was the fact that i was at the sharp end of a tough monocycle.
Also, lately I've been spending 10-15 minutes a day doing body squats, really feeling the pushing from my quads, while keeping my chest up & shoulders back. Would this help my weighted squats? Is there anything i could add to my morning &/or evening ritual ?
I have a deadlifting question i'll post elsewhere
i find a squat better @ SSAS then squatting @ a commercial gym (with musics and full length mirror)
When i see a mirror, i tend to look into it and there goes my form...
if there isnt a mirror, i tend to focus more on my lifts and form..
