Upright torso squat form?
Looking to get consistent dunks. I’m just getting into squats and saw a video from THP about having a more upright torso when back squatting, how’s my form? I seem to have pretty large leg muscles (hamstrings only) but when I’m doing this quad dominate squat variation, I can only do the bar (45lbs) 3 sets by 8 reps. This is my last set with 2 body weights to failure, see hip hinge to bail me out.
I have never consistently squatted. Just started 2 sessions ago and I’m doing 160 5x5. 3-4 secs down/up per THP’s video about rehabbing and conditioning tendons bc I had some patella tendinitis a few weeks ago.
Should I also be doing more standard squats with more forward lens that allow me to do 160x5x5 and progress them for more overall development or focus on quads since they seem to be weak. See sticking point as I come out of the bottom and get thighs to parallel.
