guys, ive read lots of opinions on squat techniques and finally have a video of one of my heavier lifts. i generally squat shoulder width but have heard that wider is the way to go. any opinions on form here? the only thing i really can notice is the slight knee buckling on the way up (iirc its the abductor muscles? how do i strengthen those with what i have?). thx
 
agreed. You're knees go inwards. and like said, break the hip first.

Other than that, it looked good! :)

by dropping hips first do you mean lean back more? i keep watching it and am not exactly sure what that means. does anyone have a video link i could look at?

i have a feeling i will be dropping the weight to get form down again... ;)

Yeah you should be almost leaning back. Light speed box squats can really help form.

Stick you're butt out before you're knees ;) thats the difference between knee break and hip break squat
