nice strength ! although i think the hoola hooping is due to glutes not being as strong as they should be ?

Props to you for posting this vid anyways! I recently discovered a strength difference too in my legs (I broke my ankle late 2009) and my hips kinda swiveled, though not as much as yours. haha. I found what helped balance things was watching the deadlift form, as it also showed me which where the weakness was. Once I did a few 10x10 DL workouts, it seemed to help even things out. When I went back to squats I could notice a significant difference. Anyways, just some thoughts.

another issue could simply be that one leg is much stronger than the other. it looks like most of the drive is coming from one leg, meaning that it straightens faster than the other and gives you that tipping sideways look.

good job

Good work, looks hellish!! Have you experimented with a slightly wider stance for better stability?

Wtf lol.

slow it down a bit mate, the depth is good but the speed is too fast when you squat down that fast there is a rebound motion at the bottom which helps push you up. you are also pushing unevenly this can cause muscle imbalances near the pelvis which can cause some terrible pain later on if not corrected. reduce the weight and slowly build back up, try 3 sets of 8 or so reps before you tackle 20 rep squats which take a lot more concentration and focus

No one is more concerned about your form than your seeing-eye dog.
Ha ha i see the on line lifting experts are giving you their usual shit. That was a great display of heart and endurance to get all 20 reps with that weight, well done mate!

@eltubster14 the criticism I've received is merited (though it would be more so if I had posted this video to brag and not out of concern.) I was happy to manage this set of twenty reppers but suffer no illusion about how atrocious my form was. I have spent the better part of a year working to fix my squat and only two weeks ago did I repeat 20 @ 240 with minimal hip deviation. Ill post another vid at 275x20 when I get there.
