      I’ve been meaning to post some training videos but wasn’t confident I was going to do it right. So, let’s try.

      Here are some squats in gear close to my max.

      Video 1: Looks a bit loose and they are both HIGH.

      Video 2: Same

      When you unrack the weight, you can see that your knees are soft.
      Lock them before you start.

      So:
      Air/brace/root
      Unrack
      Lock knees/squeeze glutes
      Reset brace/root if needed
      Start

      And on the depth, it could be the straps are to tight, it could be mental, or 100 other things.
      Try doing warm up sets to a box, but don’t “box squat”-just touch and go for depth reference.

      I definitely don’t want depth to be an issue. I’ll work on this!
