I've tried to not mess with too many back squats now that I'm out of Stage 1 (you know how bad form can reinforce itself sometimes if you keep trying to push it? I needed the break from the repetitive bad motions.) but I did go over and try a few light (55#) reps just now to see. LOL My form is still not solid but, I think, acceptable. I've been doing lots of prisoner squats, Y squats, and of course front squats these days and I've been using every one of the reps to further work on my form. My quads just feel so weak compared to the rest of me so that doesn't really help the situation. Bleh. I'm trying to push very hard on anything that involves my quads, figuring it will help with the squats.
Lookie here. I've rambled.

What exactly do you mean by that? Getting it into position to start the exercise or for the actual thrusting portion of each rep?
