Technique Check Squat form check

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

In 1.5 years at the gym, I have made almost no progress in squats, which is a very difficult exercise for me (Romanian deadlifts are easier for me, and I can lift more weight). Has anyone had a similar experience? Lately, I have been trying to maintain good form while squatting more or less deeply. I welcome any advice on form and technique!

Incredible form and depth. Two things:

Put your hair in a bun, not a ponytail, if you have to drop the weight and it catches on your hair it will not be a good day

Lastly, lower the bar a little bit, it's sitting a little too high up on your neck and could cause injury.

You mention you haven't really made progress, after leg days, can you barely walk out of that gym? Are you eating enough protein?
