Help with my squat - video included

[INOH]

Can I get some feedback and critique please.

Just started doing squats.

I'm only doing 2 reps, because I'd already completed my sets for the squats. Doing 50kg, I can easily do more weight, but don't want to add weight if I'm not squatting correctly.

Thanks

It looks like you're doing a high-bar squat in the video, have you ever tried a low-bar squat? I think the low-bar is better for most purposes.

Thanks for replying.

I find it difficult to balance the bar any lower, but I'll have a go from now on, just keep at it until I get it I guess.

It looks like your twisting ever so slightly when you approach parallel which means one side of your abs is compensating for the other. Some hard ab work can help you with this.

And always remember to keep your weight firmly on your heels when squatting, don't let your weight shift to your toes or to the inside of your feet.
