Looks good to me.

Looks good, but i think you should stick to front squats.

For what?

Are you planning to enter a contest?

You seem to work hard with your lower back. Front squats suit you better,
IMO.

You Americans are amazingly strong, you know that? When i was aprox. 300
pounds, i did squats with 396 pounds.

No, but squatting right is squatting deep

Are you saying that I'm "goodmorning" my squats? That is, straightening
my knees first, and then my back?

Compared to some people in my gym, I'm average at best.

Thanks for your comments.

These look a little rounded in the lower back to me. Probably more "big
chest" as Dan John would say to lock in the lower back.

Not deep enough for the federation I've lifted in.

All in all, some pretty nice lifting.

Your form is excellent on the front squats - hard to tell on the back
squats. Your depth on the last isn't legal powerlifting depth, if that
is what you are asking. If development is the key, why not just go ATTG
on heavy squats?

I just lacked the balls last night to go all the way down with the 365.

Yeah, a litle. But almost everyone has that when they reach the limit on
back squats.
I usually do it on the last 1-2 reps.
