    I ALWAYS do squats inside the rack and ensure the safety bars are set for me at the proper height. Hands in tight is very uncomfortable for me also. It works for lifting off the pegs but once my feet are set I move my hands out just a bit to a spot that is comfortable, and away I go.
    UPDATE: I worked on squats as per your instructions. My body adapted to the more narrow grip width on the bar and the support position of the bar across my back. As of 4th session of squats (each session 3 warmups and 4 sets adding weight after each set) I no longer need the foam pad for the bar, it is actually more comfortable following your direction, I do the slight bend forward at the bottom of the squat which was more comfortable, and I virtually immediately increased in both the reps and lifting weight. THANK YOU!

      @@goutfromfriedokra3936 Correct. 1) The weight limitation is what you're able to hold in your hands, not what you can squat. Artificial limitation. 2) The loading increments aren't precise. 3) These favor a more vertical back angle, which means less muscle mass is being used.

    I have been learning the Starting Strength Method and starting on the program. There are detailed explanations of all the mechanics throughout the book, but not much on the squat shoes. I totally get the incompressible sole, but as a convert to zero drop shoes (solved so many problems with running) I just can't put on a shoe with heels. I would rather put a 1/2 piece of plywood under my heel if it is really necessary, but I am looking for real world strength so I don't see the benefit. Seems contradictory to everything else in Starting Strength.

    • @xmoogoox
      @xmoogoox ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Plywood under the heels is sketchy if you're squatting heavy. The importance of shoes becomes clearer as the weight on the bar goes up.

    • @jannevihavainen

      Because you're not supposed to lift the bar with your hands when squatting, they're there just to push it in place. (Thumbs on top of the bar tends to make you 100% not lift it with your hands.)

      @chonzen1764 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just have to have a good forward body lean. Its not really physically possible for someone with long femurs to squat low while staying vertical they would all over backwards. Fortunately, Starting Strength doesn't think that if its difficult its better so it doesn't' advise vertical back squatting.

Ive watch another videos who explain "why", but have no sense, if some elite for not say almost look up in a 500lbs lift (not power rockstars) True elite atlethes its like theres always a reason for bad technique or not. Did the perfect technique exist? even trying a lot of weight or PR?
