Switching back to low bar squats

[hammock23]

I started out with the LBBS but switched to high bar after getting some SERIOUS tendinitis in both of my elbows. I've been kind of scared of trying the low bar squat again, but now that I have a home gym and have the time to experiment on my own I'm back at it. Hoping for a form check as these are my first heavy lowbar squats in well over a year and I'm sure they need some work.

Looks like a high bar squat to me.

Heres a better angle with a better attempt (hopefully)

That looks better. Now let's see what happens when it gets heavy.

In retrospect I probably should have dropped down a little from my working weight until I'd gotten used to the mechanics of the Low Bar Squat. My 3rd and especially my 5th rep were rough. Could feel the weight shift to my toes. Any other glaring problems?

That's too heavy for you. Pick a weight that will allow you to get proper depth and keep your knees out.
