    Default Form check (more of a sanity check): Squat

    I will start with a big thank you to everybody at Starting Strength!

    I've been reading the forums (and the books) for a while now. I love this stuff, but coming to it later in life (46) and not particularly good at it (very poor prioperception for one thing).

    Sort of stuck at 95 kg now.. 5-ish months into LP (made a false start a year ago (interrupted by covid gym closures))

    I've read and read about the "first three questions" and I've watched and read about the hips, about the knees, about the back angle, about the head down..

    But right now I find it really difficult to gauge whether I'm even going deep enough or am even in the general ballpark of a proper lower back squat and before making the plan to go further I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the form as it stands.

    Many, many thanks in advance,

    ivan

    PS

    (Intending to take another run up from 80kg, I'm assuming my form is better here, but I'm quite unsure about my lower back.

    You started at parallel and ended up 3 inches high.

    Thank you. I think I know what I need to do now.
