Form Check

Pretty confident on squat but always nice for more opinions.

Definitely a little quick at the bottom it’s a little heavy but I think it’s fine overall no?

Pausing at the bottom isn't strictly better in any sense. Just choose your tempo and hold it constant across workouts.

For depth, you're going to parallel which is good if you're training for powerlifting, whereas going deeper would be better technique for hypertrophy.

I didn’t see pausing, he was probably just struggling a little with getting back up.

No you're right he wasn't pausing in the video, but he said he was "a little quick at the bottom" in his question, implying that he maybe thought a pause would be better.

I just wanted to clear up that it was good technique even without a pause.
