Anyways, this is both a form and possibly equipment issue but I figured I'd ask it here. I had a 2.5 month layoff due to my gym closure. Another gym in town has been open for a few weeks and I've been going there in the mean time waiting for my regular one to open. All of my main lifts are just about back to where they were: bench now 245 3x5 prior was 265, press 160 3x5 prior was 170, deadlift now 370x5 was 395. However my squat is a real struggle even at 315 when I was up to 385x5. The weight doesn't feel heavy but the bar is not secure it feels it is close to falling off, when I know I have it in the right place (in the shelf under the acromion process on top of the meat of the delt). I never had any issue like this prior to the layoff. This new gym has pretty shitty bars that are real slick and no A/C so I get sweaty as hell which I'm sure isn't helping. Worth posting a form check or could it be due to the new gym conditions? Thanks
