    Default How's My Squat looking?

    Hi, I have been doing starting strength for a little bit now. I just did 205x5 yesterday and recorded myself.

    At 185lbs I recorded myself as well and noticed my back angle wasn't good so I have been trying to get more horizontal on the way down (since it seems like that's where my strongest position is on the way up).

    Side view (set 2)

    Rear right view (set 3) 205x5 rear view - YouTube

    The squats always seem so hard but I am convinced I can keep going up in weight as each workout just feels harder but I haven't failed yet.

    6'2" 200lbs (gained 10lbs so far)

    Also, might need to get a new belt since I got this when I was like 180 and have maxed out the holes for the medium.

    Thank you everyone.

    Your lean seems good. I would focus on the following now:

    1) Look slightly further ahead on the ground.
    2) Shove your knees out to the sides harder from the start.
    3) About halfway down you need to keep your butt back so your knees don't slide forward.
    4) Stop your depth with hip crease just below the top of your kneecap. Most of these are a bit too deep.
