Form is never gonna be great using a smith machine
Have you tried getting a foam roller into your ITBs? I have had similar issues in the past and rolling my ITBs and Glutes has really helped

Used a foam roller, not great. Found a number of stretches that did a better job.

Don’t roll the ITBs, find the insertion points at the knee and hip and lay on it to stretch them.
I’m really quad dominant and it’s caused all sorts of issues for me, that’s the best stretch I’ve found

Not true btw. There's a difference between people who fuck up form because they think the Smith machine will pick up the slack vs people who understand form and use smith machines to their advantage.
For squats, free weights there is only one position for squats (not counting lunges et al). On the smith because balance is taken out of the equation you can actually do squats in various foot positions to focus different muscles groups while still maintaining good form for the exercise.
Both BB and smith squats can be done In "perfect" form and look different and are good for different purposes

Ha ha... I've bought a couple of Canon DSLR's for my daughters back in their uni days... I'm sure they are gathering dust.
I still like to hold my Konica AutoReflex TC and wind the winder. Takes me back. To a lot of different places...

As long as the batteries haven't leaked, they'll probably still work if you ever find them again!

Nah, its towards the end of Camikaze. Most innocuous jump/drop to crash on, but somehow was way off line and landed wide of the trail.

yeah thats pretty much what i figured out after trying to roll them only to notice it didn't feel right. Did some research and found rolling them flat is not the best way to resolve issues there.

Bloody hurts too.
Instead of rolling it, I kind of lie on it with it at my hip insertion point and let it stretch out on its own and then do the same at the knee, works well for me

Fahn 'ell. Does spring turn up sooner or later there?
It is nice here today but the hot afternoon winds have came early and regularly too. I'm betting on a toasty summer.

In @mooreyville it's feels like -3.6c with lashings of rain, sleet and snow for 9 months of the year, then the other 3 months are 37c+ and regular threat of bushfires.
Just wait until climate change starts to mess up their weather!
