Have good core strength and flexibility. If there is any pain, lower the weight until form is perfect. Takes a lot of practice and focus.

But if the poaster is reading Rippetoe, he'll be doing LBBS and will not want forward knee travel.

Read Starting Strength by Mark Rippletoe. He writes extensively on proper form for a few barbell exercises, including squats. The writing shows how things should look, which should make you focus on parts of your squat that will help with rounding your back.

This. He also has videos on it.

Compound exercises require a variety of things, e.g., proper foot placement, engage the core, proper bar placement, etc.). Try front squats for a while. Always felt like a much more natural movement. Also, are you lifting with chucks or lifting shoes. Using bball shoes may fuck up your valance.

Also. As others said, just stretch too. I spend like 10 mins stretching before doing squats.

1. Improve mobility. As several poasters have already said, static stretching is great for this; stretch all leg and lower back muscle groups and hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds.

2. Make sure you have solid technique. The following are great resources for fixing squat form:

Belt shouldn't be necessary at that weight; instead do core work, including heavy & volume abs stuff like cable crunches for 4-6 reps and also 12-20 reps, and volume back work like back extensions for all major rep ranges.

It's most likely a flexibility issue (hamstrings) or a strength imbalance. Strength imbalance would be quads disproportionately strong vs. glutes. That makes it harder to get out of the bottom so your back bends to let your legs extend and shift more of the load from your glutes to your quads so you can complete the lift. Essentially the same thing could be happening on the way down--you bend your back to get the bar lower without getting your ass lower, because subconsciously you know you're going to have a problem getting out of the hole. Fix it with box squats.

This is just completely false as even 10 seconds of googling demonstrates.

https://www.niashanks.com/squats-dont-work-your-glutes/

"Stopping short of this depth as many commonly and mistakenly do on every rep or as a set progresses and fatigue accumulates and each rep is increasingly shallow, means most of the work is being done with the quadriceps, since the glutes aren’t moving through an appropriate range of motion."
