Squat Form Check

[Melanie297]

Rip,

I've been working on squat and at higher weights I have a pronounced knee wobble and an occasional hip wobble - is it just a strength issue or something else? You can see it beginning here; my current 1RM is 135. (BW 145, Bench 100, DL 220, Press 75)

Thanks for your help.

You're using a high-bar position, and perhaps because you think you're not the bar is way forward of your mid-foot, clear in the side video. This would cause the problems you perceive.
