Default Squatting with head down?
Taken from my training journal for discussion...

Really dialing in my form the past few workouts. I found my "low bar" position that feels amazing. Unracking the weight is effortless and feels like theres nothing on my back. Also, i have been looking down during squats and deads with my head neutral. It feel like i can really lock my upper back and everything together doing this. I know it goes against popular teaching, bur so does squatting 6 days a week and eating once a day. Guess i'm not the norm plus, looking at a spot on the floor really helps me gauge where my body position is better than looking way off at the ceiling or a far away wall. When i'm looking 10 feet away, i can see if i shift forward, whereas i cant tell jack when i'm staring off into space....
