Another Squat Form Video
Hi Mark,
I was hoping that you could take a look at my squat form and tell me what you think. Basically I'm having trouble with my lower back rounding little and have been working hard on correcting it (stretching hammies and doing lower back exercises etc). Does it look okay to you? If it helps I am 5'9 and 77kg.
Also, I'm using a plastic pole because I don't own any weights at home, and I don't want to film myself at the gym. Thanks.

An unweighted set of squats is not usually representative of form. For instance, your back is overextended, your trunk is too vertical, the bar is balanced over a position behind the middle of the foot (it couldn't do this with workset weight on the bar or you'd fall over backwards), and you're pausing at the bottom instead of rebounding out of your hamstrings. In the future, video only weighted sets. And in the absence of CTA, don't feel so obligated to put a sound track together.
