Form check - squat (+ grinding question)

[amilner]

Notables:
35M, 5'4 150lbs

Current lifts:
SQ = 245 x 5 x 3
DL = 260 x 5
BP = 200 x 5 x 3
P = 120 x 5 x 3

Feedback appreciated.

Set #3 at 245

A couple of notes:
1. I immediately noticed my head whipping back at the bottom. Just realized this was happening as weights have gotten bigger.
2. As you can see/hear, I was grinding on these. I've read on the forums about adding a "light day" or doing a squat reset. Is it too early to add a light day given the weight? If I do a reset, how much is recommended to deload? Or do I just keep grinding it out?

Fix your form before you worry about the programming. Keep your head down. Pick a spot on the floor 3-5 feet in front of you and keep your eyes there. Hold your breath the whole way up. Don't let out your air or make noises

Will do. Thanks for the response, Ryan.

Much better. You are still lifting the chest a little on some reps so keep thinking about keeping the chest down while driving the hips up the whole way
