Currently following fierce 5 novice. 17 year old male 5'5 and 114lbs. Any tips on improving my squat. Also when I am progressing the weight as the routine says my form is sacrificed. How could I go about adding weight without sacrificing form. Thanks

You're way above parallel.
Keep your elbows down.
Don't extend your back in an attempt to stay upright.Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

My sense is that the back extending is unrelated to the weight on the bar.Originally Posted by Andrew578

Don't be shy about lowering the weight a LOT to work on form and depth. I had to reset lower weight a few times over many months just to get depth.
Looking at the floor 10 feet in front of you can help keep you from arching like that.
For depth, I grab an exercise ball and stack it on some plates as a butt target. I check in a mirror sideways to setup the height of the ball. Set it up as low as you can go without tucking your hips under (buttwink). Then try and squat to that with a barbell. You'll be surprised how low it feels and how much weight you'll have to take off the bar for a while, but it was worth it for me.2022 -- Just maintaining and doing the van life
