how do i merge vid to thospage so u can play it on this page?

That looks too heavy bro, back the weight off and go lower, it is hard to give tips when you are only doing half the motion, as often people have decent weakness at the bottom (of a full squat).  A full squat (hips below the knees at least) will show what you need to work on better.

Your start position looks ok, my only suggestion would be don't rush it so much.  Take a couple of breaths after walking out and get yourself set, think about cues for squatting - deep breath, hips back, knees out, chest out, back tight... etc.

You can improve squat by creating hip torque which means externally rotating thigh bones. 

Basically having your feet how you have them but trying you turn your knees outward laterally (obviously not overexaggerating it). Will always give better support in a squat at the hip joint.  

might help you go lower aswell. 

You need to post a vid going lower for us to really have any comments as lower is when any form or mobility issues will actaully kick in. 

But it looks like a pretty good knee bend to where you got to

ok i thought waiting to long to start would use up energy but i guess thts mainly for ppl who master the squat (i think lol) and dont need to think 

 i guess it does look too heavy, i guess i will lower to 80-100kg to practice and then start with 120?

and not sure how to tighten back?

thx for poitning out it looks heavy dont want to get injured again haha

true i do see powerlifters doing that i think, and i do feel it felt uncomfortable to go lower

ok ill do one lower depth with 100 or 120.. on my next leg day

thx i did try my best not to bend knees forward too much lol

Think about bending the bar across your back, really squeeze it hard against the traps/where it is sitting, try and force your elbows under the bar, and poke your chest out at the same time.  This will help keep your chest up and your torso upright.

Just work on your form for squats and slowly increase weight

x 2 , no hurry take your time.

In the mean time you could try some paused squats in "rock-bottom position" it would help you get comfortable in the deep portion of the squat. Just go LIght like 60 to 80 initially and increase your weight from there week by week. 

Just my 10 cents, good luck.

Where a pair of shorts for your next vid and squat facing away from the mirror (assuming they have a rack positioned like this) a) so we can see your foot position properly and knees etc and b) so you are not distracted by what you think you are seeing in the mirror - cant really say much about the lift other than its not deep enough, your knees are traveling forward a little (which could be foot placement),  and that you are not sitting back into it (too heavy).

Would recommend slightly wider stance and sit back into the squat a bit more but can't gauge based on vid ... Drizzt is right back the weight off until you have depth and then progress is always best practice.  You grow faster and strong when you technique is 100%.
