    Stats
    Height 6'6"
    Weight 225

    On sets of 5 my stats are
    BP 190 lb
    DL 305 lb
    Squat 205 lb
    Press 115 lb
    PC 135 lb

    The first video from the side is 2nd set at 200 lb. The behind video is a few days later at 185 lb. I dropped down because I felt like my knees were wobbling at 200. I know my head position is not right. I have been doing SS for only about 6 weeks but did SL for about 6 months before this. Thanks for any help.

    Aside from your segmented, overly slow descent, things look okay. You pointed out that you are not looking downward. You may be overextending your lumbar spine at the top, but that's hard to say for sure. Your knees could use to be out more, but they don't cave, either.

    So, to sum up, your squat looks pretty good. Descend more smoothly and don't hang out at the bottom, just come back up. Chin down, knees out, and all should be bliss.
