Squat Form

I've spoken a couple of times about trying to get my squat form nailed now. How hard can it be? Well a lot of folk that are vastly more experienced, knowledgeable and stronger than me say that you'll never perfect it - there is always room for some improvement.

One of the better articles I've read on the matter of squatting was Squatting from Head-to-Toe - by "Big" Dave Tate of Westside Barbell.

Going with a wide stance, and sitting back into the squat (as opposed to a narrow stance and bending at the knees) feels un-natural to me at the moment. But I'm getting there - and I seriously feel the training on my hamstrings and glutes - like nothing else has touched them before for me.
