    Default Squat Form Check 2 (previously with lower back pain)

    I previously posted about my form here because I was experiencing lower back pain after every set. I gathered your suggestions as well as searching this forum and now I feel little to no back pain.

    Things I did:
    - open up the hips/groin to help cue knees out
    - realizing that my midfoot might be farther back than I though so I adjusted my bar position
    - letting the weight help me drop down straight (without relaxing) then explode with the hips up

    Suggestions and criticism are welcomed!

    Got your toes tappin' though. With this angle and lighting, all I can say is they're shallow.

    I aim to just get my hip crease below the top of my knee. I'll try to go deeper then.

    That is the correct goal. It didn't look you you were hitting it to me.

    Thanks, I'll go deeper next workout. How's the overall form?

    Your whole body needs to be in the camera view for us to comment on overall form. Can you find a bench or something to set it on?

    The mirror in the background actually makes this somewhat useful. Odd question, why do you walk so far out of the rack?

    Those safety bars are kind of distracting... and it's just more comfortable lifting in an open space.
