110kg/242.5lbs x 5

Any criticisms?

(The exclamation at the end is not me, house guest decided it was necessary to see what I was up to in the gym)

LBSS:
Would help to have a 3/4 angle (can't really see how stable your knees are there). They look fine from that angle, though. On the last one you started to shoot your hips before your chest, but only a little bit. Just think about driving your chest up.

Not parallel, if you're into that kind of thing.

I cannot film from a 3/4 angle, that column is in the way.

When am I above parallel?

Um, the whole time?

vag:
Duh , i commented on your form in your log , then saw this!  ::)

I really like the form , and from what i saw in your log it was your heaviest set too , so even harder to have that form , 'mad props'! :D

I disagree!
Rep 1 = parallel
Rep 2-3-4-5 = ~1'' below parallel

Well obviously we are using different lines to judge the depth. I like using the top of the leg line , what do you use?



Found this image with a quick search , he is using a different line , with my 'line' this would be ~1'' below parallel , i think that's joe's depth too...
