Widen your stance about two inches. Drive your knees out much harder. Don't let your knees go so far forward. Think "heels."
I am in my 8th week of SSLP. The last two training sessions, my squat form feels like it has deteriorated during my work sets. When I started my linear progression, I paid close attention to the "point nipples to the floor" cue, in order to ensure I had the correct back angle and to retrain my muscle memory from the high-bar squat form that I was taught in high school. Now I feel like I am over-correcting for that cue, causing my back to get too horizontal and result in a knee slide that shifts my weight forward on the way up. What thoughts do you have on form cues to focus on in order to correct my back angle/knee slide? It got pretty bad in my most recent work set.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to make this a great forum. I have learned a ton from SSBBT and got this far into my progression just from reading your feedback to other lifters here.

Thank you Tom! I will incorporate your feedback into my squats moving forward.
