Form check Do I do my squats right?

I really focus to get deep as possible without the butt wink.. Do I hit the right depth?

Unless you’re getting lower back pain, butt wink is not a concept to be worried about. Your squat looks good! The bigger issue is actually your upper back/elbows. You see them going forward out of the bottom, which means you loose the tightness/tension of your back.

This video by Sika Strength is worth a watch

Looks good. The main thing is you have control of your weight during the squat.

Don’t forget to keep your toes and heels locked down onto the platform! You’re a little wiggly.

I’ll have to work on my hip mobility. Sometimes it feels like I’m about to collapse in the deep position lol

A lot of times it’s the ankles, and not the hips. Or a combination of both. But your form looks good to me. The rest is building up supporting muscles

It's parallelish. Some PL feds might not pass it.

Fortunately, it doesn't really matter here if that's all the depth ya got

Buddy’s butthole is closer to the ground than mine gets to the toilet water when taking a dookie. Idk what you’re watching

u/goister 12h ago

What are you talking about? That is clearly below parallel.

I thought it was a picture based on the thumbnail not a video. 🤷‍♀️🔫

Knees are meant to go beyond your toes.

u/PruneDifferent6365 1d ago

Moderator, please banish this man and make sure your knees track over your toes when you do it

Banishing for being wrong is so harsh, dude! 😆

Srsly, just report posts in the future.
