    I've been trying the bar in the slot cue from the book but still seems like I'm losing my back angle on ascent and butt is moving back. I've been having trouble getting past 205. Using 5lb increases. 2017-02-19 Squat 205lb - YouTube

    Probably has something to do with you not getting your knees all the way forward until the bottom of the rep. Get them forward earlier, all the way forward by the first 1/2 - 2/3 of the descent, then keep them there for the bottom of the rep. Sit back and bend over. This will get you better hamstring rebound, which is what's failing to maintain your back angle. That being said, I've seen worse.

    And stand all the way up at the top - your hips are not extended.
