For those shoes with an added heel like olympic lifting shoes can help dramatically. I also left out that deadlift to squat ratio plays a role in determining the approach for each lifter. Someone who has always had a massive conventional deadlift likely needs to quickly go towards sitting back more + low bar style. Whereas someone with a lower deadlift no matter how much they work on their pulls, is more likely to need to prevent himself from getting into that position and work on knees forward + possibly front squats to practice this further. Also I'm not sure if I made it clear enough in the video, I do not consider forward lean to neccessarily = a good morning squat. Rather I consider back angle becoming more horizontal to a significant extent AFTER the bottom position is hit to be turning it into a good morning. With that being said, some high level powerlifters still do this style even though I generally don't teach the squat that way. The following are lifters who are great examples of those who keep knee travel very controlled coming up out of the hole: Kristos Papanotis - https://goo.gl/oZWL2P Eric Lilliebridge - https://goo.gl/nmq5tN Ray Williams - https://goo.gl/kPcBKo John Haack - https://goo.gl/iwYoDG Jose Castillo (yes he got busted and rightfully lost his gold to the true champ Brett Gibbs but nonetheless has amazing technique) - https://goo.gl/9Ww7Mj
