Reply With QuoteWelcome. This looks like a high bar squat. It isn't what is taught here and so we can't be particularly helpful to you. You squat a bit deeper than necessary. The setting looks a little dangerous but not sure.

Hi folks,
Relatively new to all this so want to make sure my form is spot on, all comments are welcome I assume I'm making quite a few mistakes.
Apologies the video isn't great my workout space is quite small so it made it hard to get everything in the frame I can get some more from different angles if it will help.

Hi,
I was trying to do the low bar squat so I will address my bar position.
Too deep noted as well.
With regards to the setting looking dangerous is it anything in particular?
I usually squat in the rack so I can drop it if needs be but i couldn't get it on camera due to the small room so I moved over purely for the vid.

mgilchrest is correct about your back overextention. You need to tighten your abs hard. Like you're bracing for a punch in the gut. Right now, you're inhaling and doing nothing with the held breath.
Nice looking high bar squat though.

Thanks for the replys folks
Trying to get my bar position right, how does this look?
Its a little uncomfortable but the video's said it would be so I assume that's normal

That looks like a good low bar position. Hands can be moved out a bit if shoulder flexibility is the issue.
