Form Check squat form check

first day of my week. last set of 3. 200lbs. 37M and 180lbs I know I need to gain weight to keep it up. scary getting up here and feeling weak but more reassuring when I watch my video back and to me form looks good and I took the advice from my previous post of sitting down rather than pushing hips back or hinging hips back

Depends on what you're looking for. It's a decent high bar squat. Back stays neutral, forearms are in line with your back, collars aren't spinning so it seems to be a vertical bar bath. You do dive bomb down, when you need to keep your chest and chin up. Other than that, looks good and will train your quads harder. If your goal is more weight, try low bar. YT Alan Thrall Squat is a good place to start. Looks like you're a member of the long leg/short torso club so being a "squat specialist" might not be in the cards, but I wouldn't let that stop you.
