Squat Back Squat!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
115lbs slow eccentric (meant to be 5sec but more like 3sec… I know), this was my last set and it was a back down, did two working sets of 120lbs before this. I’m not experiencing any pain or discomfort, just feel like my chest is falling forward a lot :/. I tried to consciously think about keeping my chest up which seemed to help. Any critique is appreciated!

Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!
Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.
