    Hello,

    Although I have been squatting for a few months now, I would kindly appreciate a form check. The following video was taken from a Texas Method volume day. This was set 4/5 and at 275 lbs.

    Thank you for the time.

    These are strong squats; I don't see anything obvious to be corrected. Perhaps that's why you've not gotten any responses?

    You can also post to the Starting Strength Coach Q&A section for a second set of eyes.

    These are solid high-bar squats...but if you're going for low-bar squats as SS teaches, then you're leading with the chest and have too upright a back.

    How to fix:
    (1) Focus on driving your hips, not pressing through your feet.
    (2) Look down, not straight ahead--this will help enable hip drive.
    (3) Sit back and lean over more. Again, will help enable hip drive.
