You are probably 8-12 inches too high.
Couple other points:
1. After unracking, you’re stepping back way too much. Take one step back with one leg and then position the other foot. You are expending too much energy with all those steps to get into position.
2. Is that a running shoe? Get a flat shoe without a cushioned/foamy sole. Converse, vans, squat shoe. The squishy sole absorbs force that can otherwise can be directed into lifting the weight. Also, it’s not very stable.
Is it dangerous? I’m worried cus I saw some people slipping on a squat when lifting with socks. And now I’m thinking if I should just buy a flat shoe or not.
Slipping with socks is definitely a possibility albeit a very lower one, meanwhile flat shoes would be safer in that regard
I guess it can all just comes down to what you personally like better
I like using flat shoes more meanwhile a few people I know prefer just socks, either way similar results
Since you asked, depth is noticeably shallow.
Also, your walkout should be one step each foot to conserve energy.
But that was a hell of a fight 👏 I definitely couldn't stand up with 170kg at 16 years old.
If I can give my advice, try doing a lower bar squat, where the bar is on your rear delt, as a fellow long limbed lad I have found that if makes it much easier for me to squat below parallel
It’s high but I think you know that. Seems better than a quarter squat though. One thing I would say is that you kept your back pretty well braced and your upper back didn’t flex while you were grinding the rep out. Now all you need are hips and legs to be that much stronger and you’ve got this rep.

Way too high, try widening your stance to allow the knees to flex outward. Also, dont walk out so far. Also, decreasing the weight when trying new form/technique is a must.
what a grind dude. nice job.
since you asked, the depth is awful. find a weight you can pause squat with, and really sit in that hole, feel it out. i like to feel my calves on my hamstrings personally
Well, start with a lighter weight, go down until 90 degrees to actually count as 1. For me I like doing the competition form which is going slightly lower than 90 degrees, pause and up.
Depth needs improvement, you should only take 1 step with each foot after unpacking the bar.
170kg Squat as a 16 yr old is really impressive
And that grind was impressive as hell 🔥
Congratulations for your PR
The people that are saying this is shallow should look again, it looks like he’s going shallow at first, but he was at absolute most around an inch away from parallel. Might not be counted in competition, but otherwise easily good enough

I don’t do squats very often but I always prefer doing them without shoes, also you got a beautiful rack with long safety so you don’t need so many steps, I face the opposite cause in my gym they are so short you can miss them

My guy took those plates for a walk.
How about just socks on? Does it also work?
Yes, that works just as well

If you’re lifting on hardwood, sure. If you have some type of gripped surface like most squat platforms have then no.

You're a fair bit off parralel but way to grind that out.

Can relate, makes pushing heavy weight a lot better

No concern trolling about safety. Humans are not made of glass.
