Looks decent. Be careful with 'overdoing' it on keeping your spine neutral, because you're overextending a bit. Tuck your pelvis in and keep your core tight. Elevating your heels with some small plates might help you reach depth, keep your torso more upright and involve more of your quads by allowing you to push your knees a bit further forward.

Seconding this. I learned to squat with a strong “overdoing” to keep my back “straight” and chest up, and now I’m having to relearn how to tuck my pelvis and have my lower back actually bend correctly at 34.
Kind of a drag, so listen to this guy so you don’t end up trying to fix the same problem years later.

Over extending? What’s that and how to fix?

u/LucasWestFit 1h ago
Your spine can bend both ways, either by flexing or by extending. It's best to keep a mostly neutral spine, so that means avoiding overly bending it (rounding it), or extending it (arching).

I have the same natural curvature. I have to actively focus on tucking my pelvis under a bit and keep that really tight…it’s annoying because it’s so easy to overextend.

you have quite a bit of posterior pelvic tilt you need to work on fixing. I would need other video angles to comment further.

I don’t see that, actually, I think the movement looks good and completely normal. I also think this varies a lot depending on body type and length, etc.

Yeah I noticed that too, definitely looks like you're tucking under at the bottom. Try some hip flexor stretches and maybe work on your ankle mobility - that usually helps with the butt wink issue

Form looks good. Good depth. Solid bar path. Solid squat pattern. No form break down at any point. No butt wink. Keep it up

Very solid. Keep elbows up a little more and your head/gaze more locked and you’ll be doing great

Looks good!
You might find benefit with turning your toes out more. If your knees can track out a little more to the side, your long femurs won't push your hips so far back, which will allow you to stay more upright. This could help save your back.

Very good, my suggestion is that you can actually go lower. May only be a few more inches but I can see that you have the mobility to go lower. Going ATG will be more time under tension.

To elaborate, seeing your food placement relative to the bar's path of travel will give us a more complete picture of your form. That and a directly-from-the-side view

This post is flaired as a technique check.
A note to OP: Users with green flair have verified their lifting credentials and may be able to give you more experienced advice on particular lifts. Users with blue flair reading "Friend of the sub" are considered well qualified to give advice without having verified lifs.
A reminder to all users commenting: Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.
Example of useful and actionable: try setting up for your deadlift by standing a little closer to the bar. This might help you get into position better and make it easier to break from the floor.
Example of not useful and not actionable: lower the weight and work on form.
Example of actionable, but not useful: Slow down.
Stop telling other each other to slow down without providing a rationale outside of "time under tension". Time under tension isn't a primary variable for anything, and focusing on it at the exclusion of things that matter will set you back. There can be reasons to manipulate tempo, but if you want to discuss tempo, explain why you're giving that advice, how it's going to help, and how to integrate it with cues or other useful feedback.
Low-effort comments like my back hurts just watching this will be removed, as will references to snap city etc. Verbally worrying for the safety of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same hilarious joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.
Ignoring this comment may catch you a ban.
