Watch Stan's bar path when he squats, it is pretty easy to see from the angle they shot the video. It's in the groove all the way down and up. A great demonstration, in my opinion.
I thought he did a decent job teaching the model especially getting an experienced lifter to change lifelong habits in a short time.
The fact that Stan is promoting the Squat according to the Starting Strength model is a great asset.
When teaching the vertical back angle he uses a metaphor which I haven't heard or thought about before. He calls the movmet with vertical back angle a standing leg press due to the stability it creates in the hole. When I squatted today I tried to concentrate on that during each rep and I find it a pretty helpful cue when approaching the bottom position and everything gets tightened as in an actual leg press. The cue probably doesn't work for a novice but for someone who has some experience with highbar Squats and also leg presses it might indeed be a helpful picture.
You mean "the horizontal back angle."
