Squat Tip that Worked for Me

[Who is Mike Jones?]

Maybe some of you already do this and I just didn't catch on until late but I found that if you are looking up when squating I find it goes MUCH better than looking straught forward. Looking forward makes me lean forward where looking up allows me to focus the weight on my heels.

Helped me yesterday so I thought I'd share

That's how I was taught to squat, and it really does help with proper balance. It was the easiest at my old gym because where the squat rack was, up near the top of the ceiling, was 2 pics of hot girls getting out of a pool, and you had to be looking up to see them.

Yeah, I knew that when I was 13 after reading a book about weight training.

Big tip...... Its part of the basic squat technique.

Who gave you that awsome tip? The big guy who knows it all at your gym?

That's good. Since I plan on meeting you in person, I don't want to upset you, seeing as you could easily crush me.

I did some more squats at the gym tonight (I'm new to squats). My body is currently hurting pretty bad and saying to my brain "what the FUCK was THAT?" despite the fact that I can't handle much weight yet.

I do need to make arrangements to get out there soon.

There are lots of Chuck Taylors: http://www.zappos.com/n/es/d/722001165/show_all/1/page/1/bar/1.html

Any of them will do?

the old "all star core HI" will do nicely.
