I've come to the conclusion Mark Rippetoe is a long-winded fatass whose main redeeming quality is his long-windedness in a world where few provide adequate and/or scientific detail.
Learning how to squat is fucking easy, and he'll confuse as soon as help you. Same goes for deadlift. absolutely worthless advice. Go to your gym, see who squats/deadlifts a shitload, and ask each one how. The past few months I've learnt it's better and more prudent to discount advice from anyone who isn't already where you want to be.
My breakthrough came when I figured out I better ditch the shoes, and squat in my socks (or feet). I almost automatically began pushing harder through my heels and boy did I feel that shit.
Besides the obvious with breathing in, going down, breathing out while going up.
