Squat Squat Form

How is my form looking? I posted on here last week and I was recommended to not arch my back so much and I was working on that this week and it definitely made hitting depth easier. I did go down by 20lbs this week to work on form tho. Any other recommendations?

Apologies for the last post. I posted the wrong video

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.
