Recommendations/Reviews/FS/WTB Squat form Check

[grimmhue]

Hi guys!

I'm trying to squat to powerlifting depths. The problem that I run into is when I change the height of my phone, my form looks different.

I squatted 225 in the first video and 205 in the second.

I hope that you guys can critique my depth, and any other problems.

Thanks!

(This is the 225, where the phone is placed on the ground)

(This is the 205, where the phone is placed 8 in above the ground.

Hi @grimmhue

I think your depth looks good. And I think your squat looks very good! Very smooth, strong, and stable. The only thing I'm really noticing to perhaps improve is your breathing. Get a good deliberate breath before you start each rep, hold with the Valsalva (closed throat), exhale and re-breathe at the top. You can do more than one rep per breath if you want, or just rebreathe for every single rep as many people do.

About 12” off the ground and dead sideways is best for squat videos. Perfect camera height exactly matches your body at legal squat depth, which is what a meet referee will see.

I agree with @Anna C that your squats look solid.
