Squat Form Check

I've included all three sets from my last workout. My observations, short of proper depth, hunched-over at the top, probably need to force my knees out more, and stop looking up on the way up. Your input would be appreciated.

Your observations are right on point. First thing your going to do is turn your toes out another 5 degrees. Your high because your not getting your knees out enough. Next time you train drive your knees out is going to be your main focus as you descend to the bottom of the squat. Post another video after your next training session.

Not sure I did any better. I seem to hesitate getting to the bottom, this may be partially psychological as I've had ACL surgery on the left knee and periodic tendonitis-like symptoms in the right. My set-up is probably also impacted by a loss of mobility in the left shoulder. This manifests itself with the bent left wrist and it is somewhat painful getting under the bar. Seems like I need to peel off more weight off the bar and focus on form. Input appreciated.

I think that's exactly what you have to do. Peel off some weight from the bar until you feel comfortable going to depth on every rep. You occasionally hit the correct position on the above sets (like rep 5 of set 2), so I know you can get there you just need to force yourself to squat to depth. Stance and knees look better but you need to get another 2-3 inches lower consistently.

Thanks for the coaching. I'll be back in a couple of weeks.
