Also, related to my observation today, page 91 in Supple Leopard has this (I think there’s a copy in the gym):
Lumbar Reversal Fault (The Butt Wink)
The butt wink occurs when your pelvis tucks underneath your body near the bottom of the squat. If you start a squat by reaching back with your butt and unlocking your abs–overextending the lumbar spine–your femur runs into the top of your hip joint and literally drives your pelvis back like a slow motion truck accident. The butt wink is the pelvis realigning to a better position. However, the overall system then becomes horribly unstable and poorly braced. This is not a happy place to be, especially with a loaded barbell on your shoulders. If this is your problem, here’s the plan: You need to create and maintain midline stability and torque. If you have tissue restrictions that compromise your movement, reduce the depth of your squat and address your posterior chain and hamstring mobility. Remember, you never want to compromise safe form for depth.
Motor control fix: Squeeze your butt and stabilize your spine in the top position; Initiate the squat by driving your hamstrings back, not your butt; Shove your knees out as far as possible and screw your feet into the ground as you lower into the squat.

AMRAP in 8hours
Sit, nap, scratch, stretch.
The gym is your lab and you missed a great experiment! And you forgot to post a score.
Forgot to add weight to the board: 245#

Mobilization target areas: Hip/quads, glutes, hamstrings, calf/heel cord, trunk
That description of the “butt wink” was much different than I expected. . .
Good work Kehl, impressive.
