Or you looking for the weeak link in your squat? Might be your abs. Which lift are you trying to find your weak link in? ============ Quoting from bigandrew: but if that isn't my "weak link" what is it? =============

As of right now, my whole squat feels kinda shaky. When i'm over 450...... I'm gonna start doing some walkouts....with like 500+ get used to "holding" heavy weight. And doing soem pratial negative, just resisting the weight as it goes down. Any oenhad any luck doing that? -------------- Friends don\'t let friends squat high...

Are you sitting back far enough to activiate a stretch reflex? Also, do you box squat, and if so, what height? I would recommend a box at parallel to 2 inches below to devolop explosive power from the hole. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.

Guess I need to reevaluate my weakness? -------------- Friends don\'t let friends squat high... People don\'t reach thier true potental, only those who seek it.
