Hi all, recovering from an injury caused by overextending lumbar during squats and looking for form feedback as I'm getting the weight back up.

Can't see your depth, 2 and 3 may have been high.

Here's 175lbs from a lower view. Should be better, but sorry for the dark pants/lighting.

Working on getting a bounce out of the bottom with correct, consistent depth as reps 4/5 aren't as deep as the others. Looking for any other feedback.

Still looking for some feedback. Here's 190lbs side-view

I think rep 1 looks great but by 4 &5 I start leaning forward coming out of the hole. Proper shoes are on the way, had to go for custom to get 4E width.

Rip, should knees come a little more forward earlier?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Yes, they will feel better to him if they do.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Focusing on moving the hips up first and had an easier time today with the increased weight. Will put some focus into earlier knee movement too.
