    Default Squats: Knee Slide vs Depth

    Fellow Lifters,

    I'm trying to stop relaxing into the hole, and hit depth while keeping my knees in place. I think reps 1, 2 & 4 here meet the criteria but would appreciate anyone else's perspective. Two vids of the same set:

    Rear quarter: https://youtu.be/RlJmZfFalL8

    Side: https://youtu.be/Lsb_QCYO8ic

    Years of old-man gut problems keep me from lifting a lot of the time and eating enough any of the time. Probably permanent, but until I'm sure, I figure I'll at least work on dialing in form to the extent possible.

    Thanks to anyone who takes the time.

    I don't see anything wrong with any of these squats, except your tendency to waste time between reps.

    Is there a reason you want to keep your knees so far back? They can move forward a *little*.

    Appreciate the guidance as always.

    I broke the youtube links above. Here they are again (same two vids):

    Don't let that happen again.
