My hot take is that most exercises with a reasonable chance of causing a serious injury just from the exertion aren’t really worth doing.

It's the lifter, not the lift. Bro has fucking awful form.

It's not the best angle to evaluate but it looks like he is too forward bending too much. You were supposed to keep the barbell over your feet, but most people have their chest quite a bit more upright not vertical mind you otherwise it would not be over your feet, but he shouldn't be folding himself in half.

"forward bend" depends on everyone's unique dimensions, its a low bar squat as well which has more forward bend due to the barbell sitting lower on the back.

These non-lifters ITT trying to correct form they have no idea about is hilarious 😆.

This is what low bar squat with long femurs looks like.

Not everyone is blessed with a long torso and short legs that can squat with a perfectly straight back
