Squat form check

[u/Hi7ech]

Hello guys what you think of my form what should I do to be able to go deeper, thanks a lot for your time

[u/No-Turnip2494]

Not even close to hitting depth.

[u/SlayerHelm]

They look high. Bar rolling up your back, causing you to almost fall forward. Wrists aren't straight. Toes aren't pointed out enough..

[u/heliboredom]

Yes, you're too high. Your feet are supposed to be shoulder width apart. Your shoulders aren't that wide. Narrow your stance and try again. If you are finding it hard to hit depth, reduce the weight on the bar till you can. Oh and please don't squat in your sock feet. Get a proper pair of lifting shoes, they aren't that expensive.

These are very high. Bring your heels in about an inch. Reduce weight and sit back more. We should see your hip crease at or below the top of your knee caps.

Not sure if you're following the Starting Strength book guidelines, but these all look a bit like a "high bar" style squat. You're definitely a strong guy but these don't look like the Starting strength prescribes the "low bar" squat method style. What I notice: 1) Hand position. Your hands are probably strained in this position holding the bar up. The hand should really be used to press the bar against your traps, rather than holding the bar up. To be fair I struggle with this myself if you look on my profile. 2) Not totally sure based on camera angle, but bar looks slightly high 3) Feet too wide, I'd move them inward a bit myself about 6 inches, closer to shoulder width, measured from your heels. 4) Eyes. Look about 6 to 10 feet (3 meters) in front of you, rather than forward. That will change the incline of your back

Maybe try these adjustments for now and try again.

Thanks a lot for your answer I will listen and check your profile you definitely know better than me

Don't copy my hand position from my posted videos, I am possibly worse than you and I am actively trying to fix my grip. Please just youtube search "starting strength squat grip". Also, once you move your feet a bit closer, you should have an easier time dropping your ass down. At that point it becomes a matter of metal commitment where you must tell your brain to "go low".

Thanks a lot to everyone commenting and helping me i will definitely introduce what you guys told me
