I've never done yoga before, but I signed up for a 75 min hot yoga class tonight.

Me either, but heard it's tough as hell.

I could agree with this entire post except the "over 25 years" part.

Also a too much weight problem. Go light even if it makes you look like a pussy until you get excellent form down.

What? Why?

I haven't been lifting for over 25 years.

I meant that your entire post would be true for me except the 25 yr thing.

I lose balance & bend too far forward even with body weight squats.

Wow, I just did the math and I've been at it for 20 years.

Stick your ass out more and concentrate on pushing through your heals.

how do i get to looking something like this?

Genetics + Steroids + Clean diet + 3-6 hours workouts + Weed

Hurt my back a little on Saturday doing kettlebell presses. As a result, I've been down all week. Back to full strength today and went up to 335 on deadlift as my working weight. Now time to start working toward 8 plates. Hell yeah.

Stand beside the squat rack and grab the let of the squat rack and work on your form. Holding the rack won't let you bend over. Stay away from the weight until you can get it. And then stay away from heavy stuff. It will whip you dude.

Well, I did some exercises to improve my form tonight. It was all body weight stuff. I hope my back is ok tomorrow. I really can't wait to get healed and start going hard again.

Golf Fitness had an episode that gave a couple ideas on that. They had the guy with poor squat form stand straight holding a bar over his head and put some elastic bands around his shoulders and started pulling and had him own his posture. Then they had him do a squat and pulled the bands at the same time and he went right down in perfect form.

They said to work on that for a few weeks until you can do a perfect squat cold then you can start using weight.
