technique can always be improved
ignore everything in that "so you think you can squat" video
you're a raw lifter not a multi-ply lifter. squatting is completely different
Use the form that Mark Rippetoe demonstrates, then widen your stance over time as flexibility increases... squatting like a geared lifter when your raw will give shitty results
See I am at the same level as the OP, and I have the Rippetoe videos, and then get given direct advice off this forum to look at the "so you think you can squat" video... and I do see a difference between them - e.g. the first thing I noticed was head position and where you focus your eyes. So I am getting more confused than ever also. So much information out there, which is right and wrong?
Will see what happens with my coaching session.
tasgymbrah - my suggestion more than ever is to see someone (with the right qualifications) about your form. We're in a similar position, and the question I'm asking myself is what advice/videos/articles to follow and what not to follow? We're not in the best position to really know as rookies.
Thanks for those links ONI - noob question, but what is a 'good morning'
IMHO, read / watch all of them, note what is common between them all, and follow that.
The stuff that conflicts (i.e. Rips look down, everyone else says look straight up) try each way and see what works for you.
