    My first squat form check. currently on SSLP, Bw is 185,age 16, 5'9". Male.
    Bar weight is 320 for a 3x5. I'm sorry that I didn't record my setup except on the second one
    a little bit, next time I post I'll be sure to fix that issue. Also I apologize for wearing black.
    Ps. this is the link to my current training log if needed. (Joel's SSLP)

    First set of five, front angle, sorry you can't see my feet on this one.


    Second set of five, side angle.


    third set of five, corner/45 degree angle. Sorry about the distance between me and camera.

    These aren’t too bad, but need a little tweaking.

    Your stance is too wide, bring it in an inch each side. Get your knees out and keep them out. You’re on your toes a bit here too, and you have some knee slide, sit back a bit more. Lastly, keep that chin down.

    Thanks Ben, I'll focus on those cues, hopefully I'll be posting better looking (and heavier) squats next saturday.

    Just to add to what Ben said... try cutting your depth, you're going a bit deeper than needed. That may prevent the knee slide. Looks like that's happening as your torso goes beyond parallel.
