Yeah interestingly enough, with a heavier bar that's not the issue as much as it is with a lighter bar. A heavier bar kind of digs itself more into my upperback and delts, while a lighter bar I need to hold it more with my arms...

The bar still slowly slips on my back as my set goes on, so I hurry up on my set to finish it before the bar is too low and I need to drop it, which would basically mean I would be kicked out of the gym probably and that would be it.

  The kid in the video is just learning and in an exaggerated position at the bottom, long torso and short legs- you can stay very upright and get deep, short torso and long legs- youre going to have to create some forward lean to get to the same depth.  Trying to stay perfectly straight up and down and go deep for someone with a short torso/long leg body type is going to be murder on the knees. 

 You didnt look too far forward on your latest squats at all, it looked alot better than the previous high bar ones you posted, that squat is going to suit your body type much better and allow you to go deeper without killing your knees.

Well incidentally, I have lower back pain now, and I've had it two weeks ago as well, from the squats. And I feel like I'm bending forward a lot. Flip is doing the same as well, he's lucky he has the shoulder or whatever (pec) flexibility to get his palms over the bar and hold it as he's supposed to but other than that... he kind of bends a lot at the waist when doing the low bar squats.

Well to tell you the truth... because I'm afraid of cardio. Like genuinely. Two of my family "men" have died after effort... one came with his bike home and had a vein pop out in his head at 25 years old or so after effort. Another one died after he got home on his bike, was kind of tired, and the elevator was broken so he used the stairs to get home (at the 8th floor of the building) and his heart stopped and started vomiting and coughing up blood and pink foam (sign of pulmonary edema) - and he died basically of a heart attack after effort.

So I keep that in mind and whenever my heart rate goes up at pretty much anything, these things keep coming up in my head and I get scared and my heart rate goes even higher and my fatigue increases a lot in just a few seconds. Then I'm done.

wtf? damn..

Well yeah... that's why I'm really terrorized by effort and the heart rate going up... that's why my bodyfat is where it is and my fitness is where it is.

Do you have a proof of ensurance?

WHAT?

A proof of ensurance?

WHAT?

Proof... of ensurance?

WHAT?

Proof of ensurance...

YEEEEEEEEEYYOOO

Yeah it might be. I think those that scrape the ground with their non-jumping foot load the quads more, while those who come with the heel to the butt before the jump load the hips more, because the center of gravity is higher and closer to the hips, and they benefit from a longer lever to jump off.

Yeah and it can work the both ways: you can train in the jump squat say to hit the head on an imaginary rim and at the same time, when you go out there and jump and feel "lazy", think about being powerful and explosive like in a heavy jump squat. These can become intertwined.
