Squat Check

Here is my last set at 240lbs today, hoping for some egregious errors to account for my pathetic weights. Thanks.

Nice workout dungeon. From this angle, it looks like you could benefit from using a little more knee at the top as you initiate the descent. Not bad though.

Ditto on the knee movement, and I'll add this: keep the bar path straight! Remember the Master Cue from the book? Use it, and use it well. Focus on keeping the bar in a vertical slot, and this will help you sit back a little more and get the posterior chain better involved. You deviate heavily from the aforementioned path (in the forward direction), and it's going to cost you some weight on the bar.

Thanks, I wonder sometimes it seems my knees don't go far forward enough. I know this wasn't the best angle but I didn't feel like turning it around mid-set.

I've been working on this for a couple weeks, after I filmed a set from the side and noticed how ridiculously forward I went. It goes better at the beginning, but as I fatigue it gets worse.
I tell myself to 'sit up' more to avoid leaning forward, but that seems to hinder my hip drive. Thanks for the input.

True. A side view would be good for this.

I think you're taking these just a bit too low. And I think the resulting slackening of the hamstrings is causing the "good-mornings" on the latter reps of the set.
