I'm not Manny, but I just felt like saying those look good!

Look very carefully... I can see that I am jumping about 2 inches backwards. Most likely caused by not staying over the bar long enough.

I always love watching Ryan lift--it's just beautiful. I also admire the fact that he's always critiquing and tweaking; there's always a way to be even better.

Great job on the squats Ryan. You've really gotten control of that hip shift and that's so awesome. The only place I still saw it was on the third set, second rep. You shift just a bit to the right, but then on the next sets you control it. I see no dropping of your knee like we talked about before. Excellent job. It's rare that someone perfects their lifting the way you do. I really admire that about you.

I'm not qualified to critique your form (which does look good to me), but your lifting music definitely needs some improvement.

In general, youre not staying over long enough or not sitting back enough and thats causing some issues.

1st lift, youre on your toes. You can see it if you pause at the power position, your heel comes off the floor before you extend. Thats why the bar looped and you hopped back.

2nd lift, still on the toes but not as much, you compensated by bending your arms. Again, freeze it at the power position.

3rd lift, not over enough. When you do this, your knees scoop the bar too soon and are too bent. When that happens, your shoulders are behind the bar too much so youre not going to launch the bar up but out. You do this with the 70 and 80 doubles too. If you want to see comparison stills of your lifts and my, let me know.

Squats:

1st set. This one looks a little odd. Im going to look at it some more...

2nd set: your best set. No knee cave, no trunk twisting or leaning, no weight shifting. Compare all of your reps to this set when you review your squats.

3rd set: 1st rep you can your right side buckle a little bit but on the 2nd rep it shifts

4th set: better corrections here. 1st rep was good but the right leg is still fighting to push out more than your left, 2nd rep you can see your butt wants to go right. Keep stretching the leading side and strengthening the trailing side.
