Great squat, Will. And I learned something too - facing away from the attachments and unracking it like that eliminates the common problem of hitting the bottom of the monolift attachments on the way up when squatting. A problem which makes some lifters stop using monolift attachments for squats. Or forcing them to walk out in order to compensate which defeats the purpose of the attachment. Blows my mind how simple the fix can be without making any modifications to the attachments. Nice. Something that I can keep in mind when I can finally afford to buy new equipment someday.
I personally train for and have done the bulk of my research for powerlifting, so take this with a grain of salt but, I've heard that being as upright as possible in a squat is essential for carryover to the Olympic lifts, since the jumping motion is knee and ankle extension more than it is hip extension. Usually, when close to failure, your body will try to get the weight up at any cost, so it will attempt to involve more muscle. During the squat this extra muscle involvement would come from the posterior chain by bending over more. For powerlifting you often want to lean into that position more so that you're in your strongest position from the beginning of the lift, rather than ending up in it halfway through.
This is largely because when you coach an athlete majority or times we are looking for strength stimulus within a technique we are trying to habitually recreate. There are moments when max strength might matter more, sometime technique, most of the times we are trying to get the best of both worlds. (We are greedy lol) When you have a higher training age coaches might focus on one quality versus multiple. Mainly cause of practicality (time) and recoverability. When you are still learning we are going to always coaching a pattern and allow somewhat of a bandwidth.
as long as it doesn't cause you any sort of pain or inhibit your movement in any way, you're fine. the only people that would get in a twist about knee valgus are Squat University meatriders that can't squat two plates lol
@@imitatsiya should you be trying to drive your knees out though, even if they end up caving in? If going close to max intensity then technique will always suffer a little bit, but should you still be aiming to drive the knees out/over the toes?
Film yourself from the side and make sure the bar is going up-and-down in a straight line. From this angle, it looks like you're coming it a little forward.
This man deserves a Turkey too himself. GOODLIFT!!!! HAPPY Thanksgiving Will.

Do you have a workout playlist somewhere that we can subscribe to? I love thé music you have in your gym
I usually just put on a Jelly Roll radio, Hardy radio, or Warren Zieders radio
Boom. That was solid.
.3 is about 92.5-95% for you? No sticking points at .3 either.

@ I literally watched this video, I am dumb
I train the olympic lifts and often hear from my coach or others that a change in back angle is a big no no. What are your thoights on that?

Is that bad that your knees come in like that? Mine do that too when I max out and I'm trying to fix it but does it matter?

It’s perfectly fine on the concentric . Probably good if anything

Damn near 600! Great job, your knees will be fine until you’re about my age; Old
No. Stop shooting for perfection.
You make me want to squat with steel plates

Goodwork , back the Wright of a bit never lift a weight that compromises your form
