2x bodyweight squat!!

Is that squat ok? When I add weight to the bar I lean forward about as much as him. I always thought because of that i couldnt add weight to the lift. Am I wrong should I be lifting heavier with that lean forward is it ok! NEED TO KNOW!

Hi mate,
The leaning forward is fine, us powerlifters call it "sitting back". As long as you don't feel yourself about to fall forward, and the weight is centered over your heels, you should be fine.

I wasn't too sure about the wobbly right knee of the kid though. i appreciated the spirit, but that looks to be a sure fire way to an injury there.
