Older Noobie - Squat Form check

[VaneKoS]

Here from 1 month ago. Squat 6 Oct 2016 - YouTube 42.5kg
Here from today Squat 4th Nov 2016 62.5kg - YouTube 62.5 kg

Both these were the final set of 5

So 20kg progress in 1 month which was a big surprise to me - a happy surprise.

However I know my form is poor, but not quite sure how to fix it. When I read the book it seems obvious and straight forwards but as soon as I am under the bar - not so much.

Biggest first critique is the bar is not in the correct position. Is/was your intention to do a high bar squat?

Plus, your stance is too wide, bring your heels under your shoulders. Shove your knees out hard, so that the knees are over your toes and your thigh is parallel to your foot; keep shoving them out during the ascent (in this video you allow your knees to cave in). Tuck your chin, pick a spot on the floor 3-5 feet in front of you and stare at it the whole set.

Thanks both. I was doing high bar but had been trying to go low bar - I see I have to drop the bar a bit further.

Will post new video in a month hopefully will show progress.
