Hi! I am looking for someone to critique my squat form. I am having lower back pain during and after my squats and I need some input as to whether a problem with my form is causing it. I have just started Stronglifts 5x5 a few weeks ago. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but please be gentle.

at a certain point your *kitten* stops descending and you just start folding at the waist. it stops being a squat and turns into some sort of weird good morning. in other words, yes, a problem with your form is contributing to your low back pain. try to stay slightly more upright and try to make sure you're actually working your legs/glutes by making sure your butt keeps going lower, not just the bar (from dropping your shoulders)0

Thank you. I can see what you are talking about when I watch the video. Now I know what I need to work on.0
