the closer i got to 200 on my squat the more my back hurt, eventually i hit 195 and my back would be shattered when i got home. Obviously i'm doing this extremely wrong and need to check my form.
I've looked at youtube videos, SS book, and more and still i get backpain when i fucking do it. I've switched to legpress for the time being, but it's just not the same
Can anyone share what they used to learn squat form? I'd like to continue past 200 already

youtube videos and SS
You need to give us at least a picture of you squatting in order for us to help you. Video record yourself if possible.
Tell me exactly what you do step by step so I can maybe help you.

Hey! I had the same thing happen a few times now. Had form checks and I'm told I'm doing it fine so I'm just thinking of becoming a curl bro. Getting a little weird squatting 185 with ease while my bench press has climbed up to 180.

You have to squeeze shoulder blades together to keep back tight. You also need to know where to put the bar(right under spine of the scapula watch rips video bar position). Also dont breathe in ur chest but more like in ur belly. You have to brace.
I had the same problem, and I had several PTs tell me my form was great.
The pain went away the second I switched from Low Bar to High Bar.
The only problem I have on squats is my knees start to cave in or shake, but I try my best to keep it above my feet thus slowing my bar speed down heavily. Am I doing it right bros?
Do front squats

>chest out
>ass back
you probably have back way too curved
>I come back by lifting ass
as in do you lift your ass first and back follows? You should raise evenly

Did you break with your knees or glutes? For high bar, I found breaking at the knees allows you to go deep and stay upright. Along with obviously squeezing my ass and tailbone upward.

post a video. there could be several things wrong, and anyone trying to give you advice based on the information you've given is clearly a moron.

For Low Bar I broke at the glutes.
For High Bar, all the videos I watched said to break at the knees slightly before the glutes.

How can you type that out and then not post a fuckin video? Also, get form checked on the SS forum.
