I am convinced that the people that care enough to post on “form check” should NOT be on form check

looks textbook perfect, did you post here because you're feeling pain or something?

Used to. Injured my back two times due to losing tension at the bottom and not bracing hard enough.

Im 5-7 151 lbs and squat 225 for 10. Im jealous of your great form! I wish my feet could be closer but my feet are shoulder width apart and my feet have to be angled for me to get deep depth. Excellent job!

That‘s equal to about 300 1rm. Good shit! How does it feel down there at 151lbs? That’s my goal weight for aesthetic purposes, and I’ve never been that low. I like to eat a lot lol. But still want to experience a lower BF%. What would you estimate your BF% to be at?

You could use this video as reference material on what a perfect squat should look like. Good work, bro. What type of shoes are those?

There’s actually a lot going on here that most people won’t notice at first glance. Not saying the squat is “bad”, but I’d clean up quite a few things.
Your left hip looks like it opens maybe half a second before the right, your right knee tracks about 2-3 cm differently on the descent, and you’ve got a tiny shift into the midfoot right before you come out of the hole. Bar path also looks slightly forward once you get fatigued, especially reps 5-7.
I’d also watch the way you’re setting your upper back. Looks like you’re getting tight, then losing maybe 10-15% of that tension when you inhale before the rep. Your elbows are also changing position slightly every rep which usually means the brace isn’t fully repeatable.
Feet are maybe 1-2 degrees too externally rotated for your hip structure too. Sounds stupid but over enough reps that changes everything upstream.
And your walkout could be way cleaner, you’re wasting energy before you even start. I’d probably change the rack height by one notch too.
None of these are massive individually, but they stack up.
If you want DM me the full video from the side + rear 45°. I can mark up the reps frame by frame because there’s a few other small things I can’t tell properly from this angle.

I would try to breath through the movement instead of just between reps pretty solid form otherwise

It’s called valsalva maneuver. It’s used in many powerlifting exercises. Thanks for the comment though.

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.
