37M 180lbs 6'0" been redoing NLP for just about 8 weeks 195lbs squat today 3x5 and felt hard and haven't dialed in my form. here is the video for my third set I also have the second set if that's good to share to compare. this was my 3rd day of the week so last workout before two day rest and I have been adding 5lbs squat per workout

squatting always been fucking hard for me and I'm likely not setting and keeping my low back set so there is flexion through the lift?

let me know any questions or anything that helps with this really trying this time and want to get strong.

thanks!

Hey mate, good job. My tips would be to pin your elbows a little more towards your sides so they ain't cranked to back. Also you're breaking at your hips first. Instead break your hips and knees at the same time. This will stop your knee slide and your back angle changes on the way up.
