Try and get a video front and side on so we can have a look at your squat.
That will give us a better idea on if your squatting correctly and how we can help fix it.
I've seen ppl get good results by doing this on other forums, seems like a very good idea
Incorrect.
Feet should be in a 'normal' position. If you walk with feet out squat with feet out, if you walk with feet forward or slightly pidgeon toed, squat with feet straight.
This is actually the sort of idea I've always leaned toward, (specially in relation to diet) in where things have to be more tailored to the specific individual and not so much a preset.
Thanks for the correction, I've been reading lately about powerlifting, some online articles and my latest book is "Starting and Progressing in Powerlifting A Comprehensive Guide to the World’s Strongest Sport" By Gary F. Zeolla. Maybe not the best source, but he goes in to such wonderful detail about his whole experience during the actual competitions and equipment. Anywho, Your right (and I think u coincide with Mr Zeolla) I actually miss quoted in that the indication made by him is 20-45 (not 30-45). Also I applied my own interpretation (thinking on what has worked best for me :/) the actual reference is "The toes should be facing somewhat outward, about 20-45 degrees,
but again, you need to experiment as different foot angles can change the feel of the lift."
Also I've kept an image of foot position I found on a forum sometime ago, I believe it's from the Rippetoe book (which I haven't read yet, it's my next on the line) but I don't know how to upload here.
Speaking of that and continuing the squat subject what do you (and everyone else) think of this statement
"Keep the head looking forward or slightly upward throughout the
performance of the lift. The elbows should be elevated so as to be bet
ter able to hold onto the bar and to keep it from slipping. There should
be a slight arch in the back, with the lower part of the pelvis rotated
backwards. This position should be maintained throughout."
I've experimented with this and have found best results with eyes facing forward.
Also currently researching anatomy and leverage (which I think is good for anyone to learn about) to get a better understanding of the mechanics involved in my main lifts
woops I'm rambling, sry
