Re: Squat Problem w/ paragraphs
[ QUOTE ]
You can't safely go below where you lose your arch, and losing it above parallel is, wow-- I thought I was inflexible.

seriously. I know I'm very inflexible, and even I begin rounding out right at parallel. 20 degrees above that is really bad.
edit: also, cbiz, kyle has a really cool video on squat form linked in the FAQ. Check it out. Gives some good practice techniques. I haven't started hitting the gym yet for a variety of reasons, but I've been practicing air squats 3-4 times a week. I've thrown in the potato sack squat because I find it helps me get lower with the proper form. I can also go ass to grass, even if I break form on the way there, and then resume proper form from the bottom position.
