170kg squat session

170 kg × 3 — 2 sets, followed by 175 kg × 3 - 1 set (couldn't record due to crowd)

This is around my current max. I’ve hit 175 kg for 3 reps after this as well.

I’m able to get around parallel with these weights, but my main goal is to consistently get deeper, ideally below knee level, especially if I want to eventually compete.

If anyone here can point out anything in my form or technique that I could improve, I’d really appreciate some feedback. Feel free to be critical — just looking for constructive advice.

Also, this isn’t ego lifting or me randomly adding weight. I’ve been training consistently and progressively, keeping track of my loads and increasing the weight gradually.

I can usually get much deeper with on some days when I feel particularly good/energetic, I’ve managed to get well below knee level even with 170 kg. This particular session just wasn’t one of those days.

My current goal is to work towards a clean 180 kg squat while improving depth and keeping the form solid. Any tips on what I should focus on would be appreciated.
