Get a bit lower. Other than that from this angle looks good but an angle view is much better for looking at form.

To everyone in general. Just squat as low as you can (at least well below parallel) especially in the novice/intermediate stages. Just do it. It is only going to help you. Every rep. Do it. You'll never have to finish a rep or set silently thinking to yourself "that was probably low enough...". People will probably stare at you like your a barbell ninja but w/e.

Thanks decaf. I posted one earlier from an angle, didn't get many comments if at all. I specifically did straight behind because I'm concerned with shifting to one side (my left hamstring is weaker but improving). I used to always go lower but the last month or so I've been getting sharp lateral meniscal pain when I get lower than that video. When I keep everything torqued and tight it feels fine until I go lower. However, it may be I just lose control of my positioning when I go lower and that's the real problem and leading to knee pain.

Squatting to just parallel meant no left knee pain and no SI aggravation. Thoughts?

Also hovered at 177lb bw since I started lifting again after Christmas break. Decided to start counting my calories again because I'd like to get up to 190 or even 200 depending how it goes before summerish. Up to 181.5 after 5 days XD

Form check video on squat. I'm dumb and didn't ask my friend to get it straight on from my back and didn't think to check until we had left. So can't really tell if I shift one way or the other but could still use comments.
Squat
And pr'd on bench at 225lb.

i have no idea how you are at that weight/height with that bf% and still squatting 200kg for reps
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

i dont understand what are you trying to say but that was my max lift, i did it once, i tried with 205 but could complete the 5 series (did 2 and failed hard the 3rd), after that i deloaded to 180

I'm just assuming with the strength required to put up your numbers that you'd have a lower bf%

you squatted 200x5 to legal depth? go to a powerlifting meet, you would smash anyone in your weight class. You can prolly deadlift 240 or so if you can do 180x5 with some technique work.

Topin Situation Report:
im following (kinda) the 5x5 stronglifts but i messed up the weights so its not exactly 100% accurate but im using like a guideline. Also i havent bought the 1,25kg plates so im adding 5 kg each session so far so good. damn i thought i had a month already but i realized im starting my 4th week... well im already writting so...

starting bar only
BW: 90-92 kg aprox. starting

now:
Squat: 70kg no problem
Bench Press: 45kg getting more difficult but im still ok
OHP: 35kg this shit is hard, a deload is coming in maybe 2 sessions
Barbell Row: 45kg hard but i can go on for a little while
Deadlift: 70kg harder than i had imagine... lets see how it goes


BW? i will have it at the end of my 4th week

im still adding weight but in some exercises i feel i cant keep up, like OHP, is that normal? or is a unbalanced boddy or something like that


Nice work man

That was hilarious. i didn't know people actually deadlift like that O_O

What's sad is that some of these guys are legitimately decent athletes too. I think Khalipa/Froning aren't terrible athletes and probably could compete in something good. However, a video like that demonstrates that even "high level" CrossFit athletes have no fucking clue what they're doing, lol.

Froning has amazing form and wasn't in the video. Castro doesn't count and people who do crossfit ignore him for the most part.

I was actually complimenting Froning in a kind of backhand way. I think that a lot of the top CrossFitters are genuinely good athletes, unfortunately most of them end up looking like Lipson. Even Khalipa's pressing was kind of shitty and their deadlifting form was really bad. I'm not sure why they lifted like that.

Edit: Starting today, no more excuses for me. I will be doing squat mobilization of some kind for at least 20 minutes.

Major things I will be hitting is foam rolling (3-5 minutes per day), dumbbell squats (goblet/front squat, 5x5 of each), hip mobilization (3 minutes per side), and hamstring mobilization (3 minutes per side). I could probably use some ankle mobilization, but I'll try to spend about 30 seconds per side mobilizing ankles between sets of squats when I'm working out. I'll post my mobility workout each day and try to update with progress. I'm not stopping until I can keep my feet as close to straight as possible with good form when squatting without any weight on. And once I finally have some decent mobility, I think I'm going to switch to front squatting. I feel like for me I'm more prone to screwing myself up with back squatting and with front squatting I'm more likely to keep the form strict.

They lift like that because crossfit is about moving weight quickly, not moving weight with perfect form. There were just "let's see how much I can physically move" lifts.

It'd be sort of like judging people who go to a track day based on all the rules of f1.
