    1) You are going too deep. Fix it! Below is correct depth; no deeper, no higher!

    2) Drive your hips straight UP, not back. Don't let the hips drift back during the ascent.

    I increased the weight, cut the depth a little till femors parallel to ground. Tried driving hips straight up. Please tell if any improvement.

    Better hip drive and depth. That rack is not ideal but you need to put the bar one notch lower. Being on your toes trying to re-rack the bar with a heavy weight will not go well. Also take a slightly more narrow stance and shove your knees out the whole time. Good work so far
