Squat form check.
I am 37 years old and have been lifting for just over three years. I have only done one IPF meet, where I went 375/215/513 in the 181 class. After watching this video, I seem to be going a bit too low and I am having upper back rounding. I am wondering if this is due to bar positioning. I used to squat with thumbs over with my index finger on the rings a bit lower on the back. I started trying to bring my grip in, and now have my pinky fingers on the ring with thumbs around, but it makes the bar ride up higher on the back.
I am going to add in front squats to try and fix the upper back rounding, and box squats to fix my depth. If anyone else has some advice, I would appreciate the input.
BTW I was doing the old cms routine and swapped to the four day program when it came out. The only modifications I have made is slightly higher volume on squat days. IE I went 2 x 2 and 3 x 2 at 85% the day of the video instead of 2 x 4. The weight on the bar is 320lbs, and I weighed in at 175 just before training.
