Not feeling great after that attempt, no chance now haha. Yeah, I tend to take a long time to get setup while squatting, just doesn't feel right to squat straight away after the walkout. Probably need to address that in the future.

damn your hands are narrow, that looked horribly uncomfortable.

though i agree with the others you are capable of that weight, just stop fannying about after you walk out, the longer you take the heavier it gets. Walk out, set your feet, 1 or 2 big breaths then squat.

Knees drift in = glutes drift back = lean increases = bar comes forward of mid foot = fail lift.

All this can be from lack of glute activation. Its hard to activate your glutes when knees are inward or even directly forwards (can be from toe position).

I have been there and fixed s**t glutes by simply turning my toes out to learn to squeeze them earlier in the lift to keep the hips closer to midfoot... Reducing the moment arm of the femur when viewed from the side.

This is technical failure, not strength

I agree entirely with your analysis, reckon I'm strong enough for 200 if I can just keep my knees open.

And addressing other comments, swapped to low bar recently after squatting 180 high bar ATG. Now I feel impure, but stronger. And the close grip isn't so bad due to freak shoulder flexibility from a childhood in competitive swimming, makes it impossible to not keep the upper back tight.
