He didn't say he was looking to enter a PL meet, just work on squat technique. Obviously as he eats and squats that 160 will change.

And since he mentions Cressey, though Eric is a bit less than 6'0" he was competing at 168 (as far as I remember) and has a respectable squat.

Watching Rippetoe, Robertson, and Cressey will give you a good foundation. If the right muscles aren't firing then step back and do exercises in Magnificent Mobility and get everything working right. If you are serious about training clients then you should have that video anyway.
