Squats - form check yet again

This time I left my ego outside the gym and only put 120kg in my back.
Well the form is better and I feel my quads have been hit harder then with 150kg. Perhaps I should go to lower position a bit slower. First two squats were a bit too fast I think.

I wish I had a proper spotter though. I had the feeling I could do 2-3 more reps. So next time I'll try 5x130 with this form. We'll see.

Here's the video:

  1. form looks good! the weight you choose will kinda depend on the number of reps you're aiming for though ?

  2. Thanks.. Well.. I can squat 170kg for 7 reps but the squat is not even a real squat. It's more like 1/3 squat. It worked for me thus far but I feel it's time I do it right and do proper squats even if it means lowering the weight. I think I'll make more progress in strength and size doing it correctly. We'll see. And yes. The weight will depend on number of reps ;).

  3. haha.. yes I understand how a heavier weight can be more motivating! ;) Maybe you can alternate your range of motion for squats!
