How's my squat form?

[Johnsta04]

I was just wondering if this squat form was correct and it was safe to squat this low with a barbell. Could someone review the below video and let me know if the lower back rounding at the bottom is going to cause issue?

Also, how's my front squat form?

You're extending your back with the unweighted squat. Your front squat looks fine. There's no need to go that deep but knock yourself out if it's not causing back or hip issues.

Are you doing back squats with weight?

Hey I do a good amount of back squats. I really have to concentrate on my form to get this low, do you think this is the most depth I can achieve? Cheers

Same problem as with your unweighted. You're extending your back.

Thanks man, I know my back rounds a bit but I haven't found any problems adding weight, but depth is the goal for me. Glad you approve the front squat, my upper back looked a little rounded in the video.

Think TL means you're doing a bit of an intentional reverse arch in your back. Also, is there a specific reason why as much depth as possible is your goal for squatting?

Rounding is flexion. You're extending.

So you're saying I should be more rounded, won't this put more pressure on my lower back? I'm going for squat depth because I like how a full ass-to-grass squat looks aesthetically.

I wasn't saying to be rounded either, and actually was just translating since you weren't understanding the other post.

Not sure the aesthetic look of an exercise itself is the best end goal for doing it, but to each their own. Regardless, I wouldn't limit yourself exclusively to ATG squats even if you want to do them. You'll lift heavier at parallel or just past, which also looks good aesthetically, among other benefits.

No, just don't extend purposely. That's a bad cue. An unintended compensation for overextension can be butt wink.

Checking out my form, you guys have a point I totally am extending. I'll do a few squats just below parrallel for the gains but I'll keep doing ATG squats too.
Thanks for the advice all, can't believe I was gonna pay a PT to advise when the good folks here do it for free.
