So this is a second part to my previous thread on how I can't seem to surpass a 205 squat. Yet again I've been lifting for roughly a year but 6 months "serious" and I've been stuck for about 2 months. I'm 5'6 I weight 160lbs and I've running icf 5x5. I even made a form video to see if it's my form throwing me off.( I hit a legs before this but I wanted to get footage so I just did a 1x5 to preview my form //youtu.be/3qHztb6f5gc be sure to add the https: since this website wouldn't let me post my full link

One of the most common reasons for hitting plateaus at low weights is simply diet, likely you aren't getting enough calories in. As far as form goes, it looks fine though going so deep in the squat will always make the squat harder than it needs to be, an inch below parallel is sufficient depth.
Squat: 202.5kg | 446lbs
