squat form

[needmorestrength]

Hey guys.. Had a lower back problem.. still do a bit.. So I stopped squating for a bit.. Now I have a problem with "dipping"... I have this problem even while using the bar! I was told to keep my head up as far as possible.. which Definatly helps! Any other suggestions though?

wear a belt, do front squats... and start gettin yoru lower back up to strength

maybe go lighter bro. If your dipping... i believe that means your leaning forward into your squat near the bottom. NOT good for your back OR your knees.

Widen your stance a little bit and see if that helps you get in the "pocket" and feel more natural with your squat.

lower backs coming back.. started deads a while ago.. problem is.. i go forward even when using the bar.. I will try going wider though

As you go down, concentrate on keeping the weight on your heels, almost like u want to fall down backwards. Your body will naturally balance, and you will keep good form.

That sounds logical. I'll give it a whirl
