Dude were you using a regular bar? SSB pretty clutch for shoulder or elbow pain.

Also how high was box?

Box was typical bench height. Neither of my gyms have ssb bars unfortunately

So I broke my squat pr. Before it was 315 x 3. Today I sloppily did 345x3. And 315x6 twice.

Squat: 345 x 3. @9
AMRAP: 315 X 6 , Twice. @10
Bulgarian split squat : 20 lb dumbells, 5x7
Longpull : 140, 5x10
Tricep pushdown : 120, 5x10
Hamstring curl : 70 lbs, 5x10
Bicep curls: 65 lb curl bar, 5x10
Abductor machine : 90 lbs, 5x10

I've been told multiple times not to let my heel leave the floor. But when I'm really exerting myself I lose focus in that. After watching my 1st video I tried to make an adjustment. But then on my 6th rep on AMRAP I still did it even tho I was trying not to.

So I tried to get under the bar as much as I can and I still feel like I'm not in there. Think it's hip flexibility?
Deadlift: 365, 5x5
Incline bench : 185 , 5x5
Rack pull: 275 x5
Fatigue drop : 225, 4x5

so did some squats today.
box squat: 315 x 3. form still shitty, decided to go much lower in weight till form is better. per ecks advice.
weight drop: 245, 4x4. focused as milo and bee said on screwing my feet in, also what pob said about pushing with sides of my feet and leading with my chest. think the lower weight help me concentrate on form.
bench: 255 x 3.
amrap: lost my spotter so did 225 6 times, 2 sets.
dumbell ovhd press: 1x7 with 45's, felt too light, went to 2x5 at 55's, still too light 1x5 at 65's, fuk it lets try 75. 75 too much, didnt feel like i had much control.

Vid please.

Sorry about late reply. Been on vacation TA.

From that angle (harder to tell because of the slightly upward view), it looks like the bar is a bit too far out in front, and hips are a bit high...every rep begins by pulling you forward ever so slightly because of it, and the bar appears to drift out in front of you all the way until lockout, rather than "dragging" up your legs...

others more experienced may help much more...just my .02 from watching it....

 

[silvereyes87]

Looking at the vid on my left leg it looks like the bar is drifting up a bit. Good call. A brother on ug told me I need to be pulling backwards more.
