    Slightly more informative angle than my recent videos hopefully. Don’t think I really need a belt at this weight but really trying to nail down bracing.
    This is also about the limit of my right wrist due to ongoing shoulder problems-been working on the low bar stretch but still can’t retract my right scapula properly-I’m beginning to think that thoracic tightness is the missing piece of the puzzle for me.
    Also noticing some slight movement in my feet which seems to be a byproduct of shoving my knees out (although this has incidentally got rid of my hip flexor pain)
    If anyone else has any pointers it would be appreciated.

    Get your knees out earlier and drive your hips up more.

    I would definitely work on improving your wrist and hand position as your shoulder problems allow.

    Thanks-right shoulder mobility is terrible, to the point where the front deltoid looks (or is) underdeveloped.
    As for knees out sooner, I thought I was shoving them out hard and fast but there’s still room for improvement?

    They're not getting forward all the way on a few reps, so you're on your heels at the bottom. You could bend over just a little more too.

    These are pretty good squats though so I'm kind of nit picking.
