Default Re: vjb journal, already done lots of it, check it out

Make sure your ATG form is perfect - no lower back rounding or tucking in of the butt at the bottom. You need to take a vid of that and see that for yourself because generally other people tend not to notice that shit. Lots of people want to say they can ATG but not every has the flexibility to do so. can only ATG with a narrow stance and high bar position. My usual back squat is low bar, slightly wider than shoulder width. Just want to tell you this because with the heavier weights that can be unsafe and learn to back pains. Great if you can ATG, but not really necessary dude especially for vertical gains. Only go as low as your flexibility allows.
