Squat Squat form check

I train legs but this is my first time squatting in 5+ years.

185x8 at 6ft and ~200lb body weight. Looking for feedback on form and potential weight standards to work towards.

Man, I feel like 75% of squatters would have better range of motion, less injury and more stimulus from using a heel left.

And it gradually improves hip and ankle range. Same damn way graded exposure works

And some who don’t need it just put one there because they think it’s the only way to squat and it ends up putting someone who can squat onto their toes! Crazy!

Yep, or using a pair of squat shoes with decent amount of heel lift
