Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my squats on. The issue is that I struggle to jump on the bar, my coach says I don't bend my knees enough and therefore I hit my shins a lot. There were like 50+ attempts yesterday and yeah my shins are now covered in bruises and bumps
I have no issue doing it on the springboard or soft steps, or when my coach assists me a bit. I've done all the possible drills, everything was fine.
So what is preventing me from bending the knees enough to jump on? Well now there's a certain mental block on it because I don't want this excruciating pain when I hit my shins over and over again.
I'd say my cast isn't enough (the coach says otherwise but I doubt it) or maybe it's the shoulders fault. My balance is fine and for now I have no fear of falling down from the bars.
Any advice on this? Thanks
