    Hi guys, would you be able to comment on my squat form please? I recently started to lean forward more due to reading a few form checks on here, just wondering if I've gone too far here or if there's anything else you've noticed?

    Apologies for the close angle (and the lighting), I'm in a pretty small room.

    Set 1
    Set 2
    Set 3

    Thanks in advance!

    Really need to address the upper back and the elbows cranking up. Your upper back is rounding on the way up for most of these and it's playing havoc with your ability to lean over and stay balanced throughout the squat. Lift the chest and pull the elbows down at the top before every rep. Also, put some athletic tape around the middle of that bar so it's less likely to slide around on you. If you can learn to keep the upper back tight for each rep, you'll be able to address the balance issue and smashing into your knees in the bottom.
    Lifting shoes would also help rather than boxing shoes.

    Thanks a mil Pete, I'll give that a try today! I'll look into getting some shoes and tape too, thanks for the advice.
