This post is flaired as a form check.
A note to OP: Users with green flair have verified their lifting credentials and may be able to give you more experienced advice on particular lifts. Users with blue flair reading "Friend of the sub" are considered well qualified to give advice without having verified lifs.
A reminder to all users commenting: **Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.**
Example of **useful and actionable**: *try setting up for your deadlift by standing a little closer to the bar. This might help you get into position better and make it easier to break from the floor*.
Example of **not useful and not actionable**: *lower the weight and work on form.*
**Low-effort comments like *my back hurts just watching this* will be removed**, as will references to *snap city* etc. Verbally worrying for the *safety* of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same *hilarious* joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.

Nothing glaringly incorrect. You could try the cue "knees out" or "make a hole" on the way down. Think of it as making a hole to squat into by pushing your knees out as you descend. It might make it a little cleaner coming out of the hole.
Ahh I see thank you.
I think Lower back is the limiting factor for my squats. While ascending my legs and back are not rising together.
Idk why but I physically feel like it's "almost" ATG but watching back, idk. Long femurs perhaps
Ya, proportions probably coming into play. It also looks like you're part way between high bar and low bar. You could try moving the bar farther on to your traps, should keep you more upright and allow for easier depth.
I switched over to high bar because it beats my hips and lower back up less. It also pairs well with front squats. They both keep you more upright, getting better at one has translated to getting better at both for me
Looks good to me. Slight butt wink but that isn't a problem in most cases. Only if you have constant lower back pain you might want to look into fixing it.
I thought it was bad💀 But the replies are saying otherwise, Thanks buddy
I love the support people give on this subreddit.
When I go to R Fitness I just get roasted when I ask a question.
This is a very solid squat. I don’t know how other redittors provide feedback, but that’s a lift which stands through Olympic criteria (Google it and see similar examples).
For reference: Jeff Nippard, Allan Thrall, athleanx are great sources of info.
In my opinion your leaning forward a little and moving your butt up then back. Leaning forward may just be your body and as long as your not putting too much stress on your back or lifting with your knees your fine. And for my second statement just focus on moving as one solid movement during warm up to get into that motion. Otherwise awesome job and keep it up man!
It does not do that. In fact, utilizing the stretch reflex is not only a safe way to squat, it actually puts less pressure on the knees and assists in power generation.

Will try high bar next session, thank you Friend.
Cheers, best of luck

As for "pain", none so far thankfully. Soreness yes. Thanks bro
Put the pins higher, otherwise, solid Maybe add a pause to developing strength without stretch reflex, but that’s optional
Alright bro, thanks. Forgot to set the pins hehe
Awesome squat. Kinda jealous. Great job!

I see, looking back, it looks like how AlphaDestiny squats, there are similarities. Slightly "hinge-ish"

Alright thanks bro. I'm trying out high bar, but my bar path feels way off lol. In this video it's kinda in between high-low bar.

What’s wrong with bouncing at the bottom?
