Help /fit, I can't seem to keep my high bar squat form in check with heavier weights, my back just leans foward and I don't know how to fix it. Today I tried 286.6 lbs for one set of five (doing the Texas Method at the moment after a year of SS) and I could only do 3 reps. This is actually the 3rd friday that I tried that weight. Should I switch to lowbar or work in my flexibility, help please....
Also, how long it took you to squat with proper form and to be consistent with each rep and set

I don't think you understand what 'starting' means

A strong confident man makes sure he exhausted all his options. I just delodaded and delodaded to make sure I could still make gains every session
>> weight is too heavy, better switch to a brosplit before I breake my boypussy

Core strength. Do weighted planks/ hanging leg raises etc.

Hyperextensions and ab assistance. Make sure you're staying tight and breathing into your belly before you start. You're most likely squat-morning'ing because you lose tightness at the bottom of the squat so you get yourself into a weak position.

adductor strength and hip drive. hips forward our of the hole

it's either too heavy or youre pushing off your heels, letting your butt shoot up fast
if you only get 3 reps with the weight WITH leaning forward i recommend dropping the weight a little. if youre just struggling do 2-3 sets of 3 reps with 286.6

I had a similar problem but I was doing squatmornings for like two months before I really noticed how bad my form was. I took a huge 50lbs deload and worked my way back up 5x5 with emphasis on proper form as well as sitting in a deep squat position for 3 minutes every day. You might not need as extreme of a deload that I did but I noticed I couldn't even do a proper squat with a 25lbs deload

Op here, thanks /fit. Yeah, I actually haven't done anything ab related in almost a year, and my squats felt totally like good mornings with the weight I have done recently. I'll make sure to include some ab work starting next week

make sure to let your knees travel forward. you dont want to only let your knees forward like in a front squat though, you want to make sure your butt goes back too. basically, butt back and knees forward at same time. keep weight in the MIDDLE OF YOUR FOOT. not the balls of your feet, not the heel. think an even distribution of weight through the entire foot
