Those look pretty solid to me. The only thing I notice is you're starting to dive bomb on the last couple reps. Nothing gross though, just don't let it get out of hand.

Hopefully these are acceptable at this point. The third video is the ass-cam.

So, no issues with the buckling here? Is it minor?
Are knees expected to be completely rock-solid on working weights?p
Remember, this is what triggered my reset:

Some buckling. Is it controlled enough? Today was a bad day.
Yeah, you've got some knee buckle going on there, but I've seen worse. Still a problem though, work on getting those knees out. Looking back at the videos from the first post there is a slight knee buckle also, but not as pronounced as that latest video.
Do I need to deload again?
Is it odd that keeping my knees like... rock-solid is so hard? What can I do to fix this?
1. I don't want to do less weight. I don't want to hurt my knees more. I'd rather do less weight than blow out my knees due to applying torque around an axis my knees weren't intended to rotate.
2. I want lifting shoes, but I can't throw money down at the moment. Plenty of people squat very well in Chuck Taylors, which are what I'm using.
1) You will not blow out your knees squatting 190 lbs.
2) Squat shoes are so much better than Chuck Taylors. There is a world of difference. I used to squat in Chucks, and I didn't want to shell out over $100 for a pair of shoes because my Chucks were "good enough". But squat shoes are worth EVERY PENNY.
