    Form looks fine. Sure, it could be more stable, but it’s stable enough.

    I couldn’t take the routine as bible. IDK, I’m no expert so I don’t want to trash it, but I think just a simple 3 working sets (not including warm-ups) of 10 reps 3 times a week for squats specifically would be better.

    I’m questioning where your idea that you’re lacking progress is coming from. Are you able to do 3x10 of a weight, but if you add 5kg more, you’re only able to do 8 during your last set? That’s fine, keep at it, even if you drop to 5 reps by the end. Only when you add weight and can only do like 3 of the reps by the end would I suggest backing off.

      Lacking progress as in very inconsistent progression, 10 days ago like i said i hit 5x3 with 60kgs, (getting 3 on the AMRAP set) that’s already a very quick plateau considering i started my program with 45kgs (which was 85% of my 5RM) similarly on my higher rep squats, i m failing after adding similar weight, and very quickly too, i lose 2 reps as soon as i add 5kgs (when the are supposed to stay same)

      And most importantly, i failed my very first rep on 60kg today haha

      As for the program its doing me good on the other three lifts, so i dont really feel like changing it hehe, i made a pretty long rant post 2 months ago about how i m not progressing on any lift, I finally am and dont want to disturb anything

      Squats have always been quite problematic for me tho tbh, idk why

      I was thinking maybe my stance is too narrow replaying the clip
