Haha, jk. To be honest, I feel pretty good about these, with the exception of my wrists being bent and some butt wink.

I feel that you are waiting too long to arrive at the correct back angle. You're staying upright and bending your knees to initiate the descent instead of shoving your knees out and your ass back.

squishy heeled shoes are bad.

I had a feeling I was taking your advice on page 47 too far anyways hehe. I'll work on fixing that.

Tyvm for your time.

Yep, I was holding off buying some good shoes until I was sure I could squat safely. I was plannng on buying some cheap Adidas Sambas an using those until I get into heavy weights.
