    I'd say the title is a bit misleading. You've lost quite a bit of weight since the last thread.

    WTG

    ETA: Those are odd looking plates. Is that 185?

    The blue plates are 20kg. The greens are 10kg. Making 80kg/176lbs.

    I've only lost 1kg since the last post :wink:

    the bar looks pretty high on your neck, PLZ be safe OP!

    My hair over the bar makes it look deceiving.

    Here is the lift from the front:

    Yeah that looks fine, keep it up!

    squats have many variations , this seems like a Romanian squats with a wider feet stance ..

    Romanian squats - aren't they where you have one leg on a bench behind you? Normally called Bulgarian squats?

    @OP - good work dude!

    I know of Romanian Deadlifts and Bulgarian Split Squats, but not Romanian Squats.

    My stance isn't wide enough for sumo, but closer to sumo than not I think.

    Outstanding! Being a hoss, I'm always checking and adjusting my stance to try and get a little lower at the bottom. Typically works best for me (more leg and less back involved) if my heels are shoulder width apart with my feet at about a 30 degree angle, and as I get to the bottom, I try to consciously push my knees out so they line up with my toes. I've got a bad knee, and it takes the some of the pressure off of it.

    Keeping doing what you're doing, and being all inspirational and what-not! :flowerforyou:

    looking good!!

    If I can make 2 suggestions...

    1: try to work on a lower bar position. It's up really high on your neck, especially for a wider stance. If you bring your hands in some and pinch your shoulder blades together, you'll make a natural shelf where your rear delts and traps meet. Your arms in closer will help you lock everything in tight for support. It takes some getting used to but it will actually change your leverage some and make it easier to keep your form.

    2: get some better shoes to squat in. Cross trainers have too soft of a sole. Something flat like Converse Chuck Taylors, or a wrestling shoe. Or in sox if you can't get a flat shoe.

    This is why I want to join a gym. I'll never get to your level of awesome working with my dumbbells at home.
