Figured you guys should know your stuff. So let me start off by saying going into this workout was pure hell! Had no sleep the night before. Had to do 10 triples @85% today. Weight is just 260 but felt way heavier. This is the 9th set so fatigue was a definite factor. I feel like I was falling forward every set today and was hyper extending my back. Looking for opinions and perhaps advice if possible. Sorry if angle is bad!

What are your goals? Powerlifting? Weightlifting? Just cause?
Is high bar your main goal to get stronger in? Or is this just a supplemental lift for you?My Training Journal: http://tinyurl.com/jasons-journal

main goal is to build strength and size. I'm aware that focusing on both means i'm not gonna be the best at either. Also ya I prefer high bar squats so this is my main squat movement right now. Any comments on form?Originally Posted by Jason2459

If it's going to be your main focus to high bar then I'd suggest a higher heel shoe. 3/4" or more. Need to open your hips more and stay centered on your feet. You get onto your toes to much.Originally Posted by echambers123

If I am not mistaken (somewhat hard to tell), your heels raised up towards the bottom of your squat. Most likely due to either your shoes, or (more likely in my opinion) a flexibility issue. Definitely want to fix that as if your heels rise up, if the weight gets heavier you may end up tilting forwards and getting hurt which is definitely not ideal for your goals

Hard to tell from the angle you video, but look like your bar path travels forward as you lower. This causes weight to transition from heel to ball of foot, which would explain heels raising and quad dominance to stabilize you from falling forward. I'd suggest box squats to get a feel for "sitting" with the weight. This will help you learn bar path
