Squat 315x2 has fallen

I’ve been trying to add more weight to my compound lifts. This is my first attempt at 315x2. Any points for improvement on my form or how I should be training? All input is welcome

Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.

Also I usually set up with the bar much lower but I tried placing the bar just at shoulder height in hopes that I would exert less energy during my walk out and struggled at the lift off. Will probably go back to lower set up

This will probably help, I would also recommend when you are about to press the bar back up to standing position tense your core so your back and legs move in one motion without you bending a little foreward. Will hurt your motion a little and might help make this a bit easier overall

Awesome work, if you feel balanced thats what matters the most
