Back Squat 5 rep max

Really worked on technique today. I wanted to focus on my core and not roll my weight forward as I come up.

I got 245 easily, bumped it up to 265 and nailed, like nailed, the first rep. The second rep, I went down nice, but when I wanted to come up I felt my body wanting to roll forward, but I put a stop to it right away. However, once I prevented going forward, I also stopped myself from coming up.

Feel like technique-wise I'm really improving, but because I'm relearning all this stuff my weights and times are going down. I can deal with that, especially if it means I'm going to start doing even better.
