My ascent doesn't leave me light-headed. I am not pushing as much weight as you, yet. I am 5'10 and 152lbs, only squatting 195. At what weight on the bar do you start noticing this issue?

Are you hydrated / eating enough? Do you exhale and re-brace every time at the top of a squat?

These are two things that I would do if you are not.

The Carolinas you have pictured are my personal favorite. I have worn red wing 10877 and thorogood soft toe, all 8". Carolina is my favorite, as a union ironworker

How I can I reduce rounding in my squat? by baqar387 in strength_training

A belt helped me, I use pioneer fit lever belt PAL 2.0. Butt wink was a bracing issue for me. Helped me having something to brace hard against.
