    Default Squat Form Check

    I recently had what I think was quad tendinopathy above my right knee near the MCL. It took me about 8 months to get back to squatting any kind of weight without a stabbing pain after. Here is a video of me squatting 120kg (265lbs) for a tripple. I'm starting to get a mild ache in the area I had the tendinopathy issue so am looking for some advice on my technique? The only thing I can see is that my shins are too vertical (knee is behind the toe) possibly because my back angle is too horizontal for my anthropometry??? If I'm right, how do I correct this?

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    You're sort of doing a weird mix between high and low bar squats and you're very upright. I'd recommend that you read/watch the following links and apply them on your next training session.

    Link 4

    This should get you out of your knees.

    Haha, that doesn't surprise me. I switched from high bar after reading the book. Low bar has never really felt right. I actually thought I was too bent over. Thanks for the response, I'll take a look at the links.
