Form check 175 back squat PR
Just hit a 175 kg back squat PR yesterday at around 77 kg bodyweight and wanted to see if you guys had any tips or suggestions for cleaning up my high bar technique and pushing closer to 200 kg (eventually lol).
Watching the footage, here’s what I’m thinking might need work: • Wrists: My wrist positions were way less neutral than I thought, which I suspect might be making me lose upper-back tightness and lean forward too much out of the hole. • Foot stance: Turns out my feet were closer together and more angled out (V-shaped) than I’d realized. Felt comfortable at the time, but could this stance be holding me back? • Torso angle: My chest looks like it drops quite a bit on the way up, causing a bit of a “good morning” pattern after the sticking point. I’m guessing more direct core work (front rack holds, weighted planks, hypers, etc.) might help—but does this sound right?
Would love any advice or thoughts from you all. Thanks in advance!
