    I've low bar squatted for years, not deliberately, it just came naturally. I'd now like to change to high bar as it involves the lower back less.
    Is there anyone in particular on youtube I should be looking for good coaching videos? I've just discovered Kelly Starrett so his videos hopefully will cover any ROM issues.
    I'm also curious about optimal foot direction, forward vs outward.

    ..and on the latest episode of "Overthinking everything"! :D

    Put the bar across your traps. Keep your torso upright. Squat a bit more down than back. First movement stays at the hips.

    Straight feet is great, if you have the mobility for it.

    Guilty as charged! The one thing I wanted to avoid was to jump in with dodgey tekkers and pop or tear something out of ignorance.
