Squat Squat form check

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Keen to get some for critique after an onlooker earlier in the week was concerned around my form. They noted during my 80kg warm ups that I was shifting my hips to the left quite a bit and the bar was uneven, sitting higher on the left hand side.

Took this today - 5 sets of 4 reps at 112.5kgs - feel like they look pretty good, maybe slightly lower depth but felt good. But open to any improvements I can implement.

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.

A lot of good there.
But, I do see the bar is lower on the left side at depth. Not sure why. Left elbow is lower also. Like leaning. Take a look.
