What makes you think this?

Lack of critical thinking and/or intelligence.

have changed this to public settings. Should now appear

Are you aware that the single is high, and that you're lifting your chest? Do you see the twisting motion here? These may or may not be related to the knee pain, but they're definitely reasons why a difficult but not all-out set of 5 is best for giving technique advice. Can you get a better video?

Yes, yes and yes! I did put a disclaimer in that I realise a limit single is a poor exhibit of form. I will try and get a better video of a set of 5. On the plus side...I figured out how to post video.

Technically, this is a limit non-rep. But if you're always squatting high, and leading with your chest, thus killing your hip drahve, as you do in this video, we can probably offer some real good advice to make your knees hurt less.

Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it. Will get a new video on my next workout (hopefully tomorrow, family permitting). Its kind of irrelevant until I can show a decent set of 5 but how far from depth would you say this attempt (note not rep ) was?

2 or 3 inches, maybe a little more. Wear non-black shorts next time.

[Kevin1985]

OK, set of 5, non black shorts. Any form pointers greatly appreciated.
As a side note, I tried these in solid soled, flat shoes rather than the powerlifts. Felt much more stable and less toey (is that a word?). Also, no knee pain.

[Adam Skillin]

Still high. I don't think you've got the bar in the right spot. Do you have access to an SSC? A visit would go a long way.

No. I'm not aware of any in the north of England. The bar position is always one that gets me. What feels right evidently isn't but I have tried it lower and I just can't get my shoulders in position to hold in place. Regarding depth, are we talking catastrophically, above parallel high? To my untrained eye I thought the hip crease was somewhere in line with the patella at least, but then, i'm not exactly experienced in what to look for and yet again "feel ain't real".

Thanks for taking the time to look at this by the way. Really appreciate it
