Squat form check

[RL2]

Hi-

I'm moving back up in weight with my squat after a deload to fix depth issues. I've included videos at different angles from my past two workouts. Any input is appreciated.

So, these are high. Also your breaking at your hips before your knees, they should both start to flex simultaneously. Finally, stay off your toes.

Agreed. Set your knees a bit earlier then sit back with your hips. You are off balance to the front. Give us a video from the rear (directly behind) so we can see your stance.

Thanks for the input on the last sets. Below is a set from the rear view:

Your knees aren't ever really setting. This could be fixed by pushing your knees out harder so that they track over your toes more. They're too far in right now. Keep them out the whole lift, which will help to engage your hip muscles more.

If you look at your ascent, you are performing a pseudo good morning because your knees are moving forward at the bottom and then you do the hip drive and shift. This should clear up with just setting those knees effectively in the first quarter of the squat.

I suggest also moving your heels out about an inch (total, not each foot), but retain the current toe angle.

Below is a set from my recent workout. I'm trying to push my knees out at the beginning to set, though unsure if I'm hitting the correct position. I still see the good morning movement on the way up.

Any cues I should be following to remedy this? Do I need to drop down to 135 until this is resolved?

Brace harder before the rep and hold throughout. Think "proud chest." Still think the knees could be pushed out a little further.

Here is a video from a recent workout. It looks like I am bracing better and keeping the upper body in position. I'm seeing the bar move forward initially on the ascent. What's a good way to fix this? Anything else? Thanks again everyone
