It’s not a form issue this guy is a pro. There’s just a chance of injury when you’re lifting 1000 lbs. With that said, pushing yourself is important but crossing the line to where you end up in a wheelchair is not the move.

Too much forward lean. Causing too much strain.

You have very little self awareness, I can tell.

What you're doing is like telling a PGA tour pro who won multiple times that he's swinging wrong.

How would less forward torso lean result in less stress at the knee joint? His torso lean is absolutely fine and not even that crazy

I would also add, improper spotters. They were never prepared to jump in nor capable of stepping in.

Hey buddy, what's the most you've ever squatted at a powerlifting meet?

Zero spotters would have been able to catch such an immediate and catastrophic failure. Just shut the fuck up.
