just slow down the motion control it more an you will be fine.
 
good depth
for having a fucked up right calf
you're doing really well bro


keep up the good work
and as has been pointed out slow down your descent a little
 
hehe. thats the plan, i wanna compete next year and not have anyone even come close to me. The strong man guy i was lifting with today thought i was in my 20's!!!! :)
 
Wow, that's a close stance. (To me.) The movement as a whole seems a bit afluidic -- your legs kind of kick in out of the hole, then your back helps GM it up. I'm used to pretty different positioning, so I can't say much. How much of the lift do you push through your heels, and how much otherwise? Might be the stance, though.

Ever try box squats?
 
I've tried box squats before but didnt like them much and a powerlifter that helps me sometimes said do regular squats and get used to the movement not box squats and everything he's told me so far has done me wonders. Stance in kinda narrow i agree but i don't like going super wide because it doesn't work my legs as good.
 
your legs should be a little wider and trust me if your legs are just a little wider and you get IN the hole... REAL LOW... with less weight you feel a difference and your legs will GROW!!! i made that small adjustment and its working wonders.... your bodybuilding right? not powerlifting?
 
Your going to far down, stop about 15% sooner

also when I do Squats I pause at the bottom( just above parallel) and make sure to drive with glutes and Hams, and keep my abs VERY tight

^^^DONT LISTEN TO THIS GUY^^^

You should go even lower unless if your competeting for powerlifting. Going ass to grass will put less stress of your kness and you'll get more muscle mass that way because of the increased ROM. Also your knees are wobbling in and out while you go up, the way to fix this is to point your toes outwards. Also you should drive with your heels, the way to get used to this is by curling your toes so there not touching the ground. So that the whole feet is touching the ground except the toes, this way you'll be forced to drive through the heels instead of toes.

Good Luck
 
idk if anyone else has pointed this out, but your elbows are too far back throughout the whole movement. Along with that it looks like you are doing a half good morning squat on the way up. This could step from having weak glutes and hamstrings. SO I would work focus on fixing that instead of using your lowerback to put the weight up.
 
My spine and knees want to explode just watching you(my back been iffy since injured 2 years ago)You are 190 lbs right?Kick ass squat,your deads last week were killer,keep it up!
 
Im sorry but im going to put a spanner in the works!!!

i think your squat needs allot of correcting
1) i dont care about the weight - that has nothing to do with my comments. Weight means nothing - training to failure means everything. you will probably have to drop some weights to get your form correct
2) I can see that your knees are going over your toes and i can see that you are bending too far forward. you need to practise getting your weight further backwards and keeping your back more perpendicular to the ground. You shouldnt be able to do this movement without weight on your shoulders (you will fall backwards)
3) learn to drive the squat through your glutes and quads! You are currently initiating your upward movement with your back.
4) Why dont you video yourself from the side, this will be of more benefit.
5) I am also a firm believer in doing full squats. ie. getting your femur parallel to the ground. So you can go a little deeper.

take it or leave it, just my thouhts. would like to see a side view though!
 
That little lean forward is gonna spell disaster for you vertebrae if you're not careful. One thing that can help in addition to what everyone else has said is to look up and not directly forward. It will keep you back on your heels and help with the lean. Disc herniations will sideline you like a m-fer so let's not even go there.

Back off the weight just a little to work on form like they have said. Your legs get a lot stronger faster than all of your core supporting muscles. But that is partially responsible for that lean too. Your legs can drive, but your back is crapping out a little. Let everything catch up to the strength in your legs. Once you are back on those heels and your spinal erectors are stronger your are unleashed.

Keep it up guy. 400 is around the corner!
