I've developed this tendency to rest my elbows on my knees on my heavy sets. I kinda knew this was happening but Dave called me out on it today. I got only one red light for doing it at the meet in February...but I still need to stop doing it. Here is a video of 345 from our last singles day. I'm clearly resting my elbows on my knees here. I guess I've been cheating on squats for the last 3 months :(


Band-resisted squats (oranges)
205 x 5
215 x 5
225 x 5, 5

Pause squats (3 count)

Finished with 3 sets of foam roller transversus, ball reverse hypers, and calves. Also some hamstring and piriformis stretching.

I remember in the meet thinking you were absolutely going to bomb out because of that problem. Luke and I think it may be an issue of leaning too far over at the bottom of your squat
