yeah. having the weight a bit in front of you (rather than in the rack) seems to have magical qualities when it comes to people engaging their abs and sitting down into their hip flexors while maintaining lumbar curve without falling over.
when that feels smooth and comfortable try and replicate it with the bar then when that is good add weight.
maybe check out this, too.
i have no early idea what you mean by ‘that burn’. so your hips don’t hurt now but your knees which pop but don’t hurt actually do hurt a bit after all???
i dunno dude. if you want form critique you really will need to post vids. it is amazing that often what we are actually doing is a lot different from what we think we are doing.
