Just keep working on it bro...if your form and technique are dialed you may be able to push heavier, just keep it up and make sure you do full range of motion...for a little guy not bad!

Haha thanks. I was shocked by it when I decided to do it. Got my bro to video it and I like to watch it a lot haha.
You mean Smith machine? Start free squats, don't use a Smith to start out.
don't use the smith...its a sure way TO ruin your knees and lower back...the motion isn't correct
it will also build muscle unevenly which will predispose you to MORE knee problems
how deep can you squat with no weight at all?
thats how deep you should be hitting it with the barbell with the same motion
theres a lot of ongoing debate about if your knees go past your toes...how far to lean back...etc etc
most of it is bulllshit to put it bluntly as long as the angle of your tibia and your back is the same youre in good shape
point your toes out just a tad for a stance and your knees will follow
the squat is one of those things thats incredibly over thought out
properly done squats will stabilize your knees and should help resolve your current knee problems....do squats in a power/squat rack and see where the safety catches the bar in case you should have to bail out of the lift

Not bad for a first time, but in a couple months you should be squatting atleast double your body weight. work on technique, it is key to squatting big weights. Build your hams, glutes, abs, lower back, and hips for a massive squat.
right...except he is almost at double his bodyweight...haha
so yeah..its excellent minus the smith
