You don't raise your chest too fast like he does though.

He even has bent wrists and Rippetoe doesn't say anything about it!

Squat looks pretty good, but I think Smoundzou is right and you are a bit on your toes. Weightlifting shoes solve this.

Yeah, I've had a few instances where I notice my weight is a little too far forward. Thanks for the tip, I've been meaning to pick up some chucks.

ֻChucks are good, but real weightlifting shoes are much better.

do you have a link to actual weight lifting shoes?  I always train in running shoes and im sure thats leading to instability squating ect ect

I have vsathletics. They are cheaper than others and work very well. Of course they are pretty ugly, but I don't care much

Really?  I figure why waste the money on the expensive ones if they say chucks work, but idk maybe I should just go ahead and get a nice pair.

Just google "weight lifting shoes"

And, according to Starting Strength, "If the contact between the feet and the floor is the squishy gel or air cell of a running shoe, a percentage of the force of the drive will be absorbed by the compression of the cell.  This compression is fine for running, but when squatting it reduces power transmission efficiency and prevents foot stability."

He compares it to squatting on a bed.

I want some adistars sooooo bad.

They are not that expensive, and are better than chucks because of the little heel that allows better knee placement in a squat. After all, you are not squatting with a powerlifting stance...

Besides, they will allow you to do all the olympic lifts too if you are into that.

haha what what in the butt
