The point I made of the belt is that it is helping you pack on a lot of weight and attempt redic PR's. But at what expense? Like I said, if the point of your workout is to pack on a shit ton of weight and post videos of it on youtube, that's fine. Everyone has different goals, and that's excellent. Again I want to reiterate that I am not comparing one goal to another, so I will just leave it at that. Keep doing what you're doing, and if this was a show off video rather than a form check (as the title implies), I apologize, and change my comment to "props brah".

And if that is the case, you might want to consider knee wraps, they'll let you add on at least 2 more plates in all seriousness. You might even have to pull down on them to get parallel, as sometimes under 6 plates isn't even enough weight to load the spring force all the way down.
Like u said, he asked for a form check. Telling him to go up or down in weight is insignificant to the way the squat is being executed. I don't see any comments in regard to his actual 'form' in ur form check post. By saying that he is lifting too much weight you're implying that a 1RM can't be done with proper form. Heck, there's an entire sport out there dedicated to 1RM with proper form - powerlifting.

Even though he could work on his form (even he said so himself), u didn't really give him any tips for that. He knows hes wrong. He wants to know "WHY" he's wrong.
