Thanks for the info, will get another vid, will keep in mind about what you said, try keep upright position.
Makes sense what you said, when i do it this way, it don't hurt my back, but when i go for another set i get pain in my back in by trying to lift it off the rack.

Finally, Here is a video with 112lbs of weight on it, it was raining heavy for 3 days it got muddy outside, tires had mud, i got dirty so i had to stop and weight when it was not raining, it was quite wet the grass as it had rained last night but nothing too messy as the other days. I forgot to emphasize my shoulders but feel i did use my shoulders quite a bit, just wanted to record myself squatting heavy weight, wasn't as hard as it would have if i went to the bottom as i would need to put even more effort.

when you say don't force, do you mean go to a point where i can comfortably go back up instead of going all the way to the bottom and use more effort to come up.
Ok man, first of all, completely forget the hip drive thing, dont think about it, try it , etc, youre taking it to the extreme and mis understanding it and your hips are coming up before your torso does, putting a TON of stress on your lower back and spine. You need to start from square one and try to stay as upright as you possibly can, I would even do some front squatting for a while to re enforce that position. You can try box squatting and keeping a more upright torso for a while, sometimes that helps, but you HAVE to get to the point that your hips arent beating your torso up to the top. I would definitely post another form check video with a front squat and either a box squat with a more upright torso position or a back squat with a more upright, but you need to work on that before you progress to heavier weights bud, thats not safe at all the way youre currently doing them. Props on the tire weights though, finding a way to make a weight set out of that is boss.
