This is probably the most useful video anyone could watch to permanently improve their weightlifting quality and success forever. It’s all in your squats and this is exactly how to do it right.

Actually, rippetoe advises to find a spot BELOW eye level, about 10 feet in front of you. If that happns to be a wall, then look at a spot on the wall.
Please know what you’re talking about before giving advice -__-
great video.

I would slow down …
I would slow down this motion “the drive” and practice it in front of a mirror, SLOWLY lowering and raising, making sure you’re hitting every point of the motion. Your body will adjust and your stabilizer muscles will adapt. Time and patience are needed!

@masinacastle : I’m usually looking at myself in the mirror to make sure I’m going deep enough, so that’s a horizontal level. Thanks for your tip, I’ll apply it next workout. I’m also considering to change my stiffed leg deadlifts with goodmornings.
@ 1Bers, make sure …
@ 1Bers, make sure you are looking slightly up for the entire squat – if you look down you will lean forward. Find something to look at which is slightly above eye level, and look at it for the entire time.

My problem is : I lose balance when raising up from the lowest point because of the tilt forward. How should I fix that?

He doesn’t say there’s no need to keep the back straight.
In fact when driving with your hips it’s the lower back that gets most of the stress so yes, it has to be kept straight.
You can deadlift more than you can squat normally so if your lower back can handle the weight then you can squat with your hips no problem.
