Dude you are flattening your back!!!!

[dJoeG111]

back rounding :(

[Iceman1800]

good form

[hh87]

knees past toes is a myth i guess? as long you keep the heels down with the weight on them, it is fine. just look at olympic weightlifters. period.

[grambo22]

Yep, it depends on limb length and squat type. What is important is when the knees move. It's dangerous to have knees sliding forward at the very bottom of the squat (gets weight up on toes, shearing force on knees). Weight on heels, weight above mid-foot always.

Knees past toes here isn't a problem (unless you go a lot more past your toes) but the problem I see with this squat is lack of hip flexibility which causes him to round his lower back at the bottom. That's how it looks to me and as such it's something that needs to be corrected asap.

It's not lower back rounding, it's the "nutation of the pelvis" to use the prevailing jargon. Again, it's fine.

[DaONeNdONLy56]

umm knee's past toe's is not fine it actually will cause ur tendons 2 lengthen which will then lead 2 him blowin his knee's out..nd his sry ass wont b squatin anymore

[etwade]

Hai guise, his squat form is great. Knees past toes is fine. End of discussion.

[Halo2isgay87]

[hystikal]

His form is spot on you retard.

[Halo2isgay87]

ur the type of person thats going to have fuked up joints cause u don't know how to squat properly

[dhulla]

aren't your knees going past your toes a little too much? i am a newbie to squats, but i was once told that your knees going past your toes when you come down really puts a lot of pressure on your knees.

just wondering. thanks.

[Pete22222]

No, it doesn't matter if your knees go past your toes. His form is correct.

[m1kekim]

he's a bit shallow, but knees going past the toes is fine. weightlifters work on getting their knees as far past their toes as possible (e.g. snatch deep squat position)

[Halo2isgay87]

omg u guys are fucking retards u can really fuck up ur joints if ur knees go past ur toes so stfu u dumb noobs

[Halo2isgay87]

his form is terrible learn how to squat u hack

[Halo2isgay87]

nooby u are right ur kneees should never go past ur feet this guy has such bad form

[Pete22222]

The knees past toes thing is another topic we could debate for eternity and nobody would ever have a definite answer.  With that being said, your arrongance is clearly demonstrated when you say his form is terrible.

[Halo2isgay87]

noob ur right ur knees should never ever go past ur shoes don't ever let anyone tell u other!!!

[stevenlap]

There is another squat called the hack squat, where you hold the weight behind the legs, I think.

[flexuntiedt]

they changed it then. it did say front squat. I read it a few times before i posted it.

[flexuntiedt]

[paulockleford]

It isn't, it's called 'back squat' in the title.
