No. Maybe I'm going too slow?

I tried going faster tonight.
Faster 45 View
Faster Side View
It's much easier faster. Is this fast enough?

Heaps better :-)
It looks like you have the bar in a high bar position. Is that your intention?

That's as low as my shoulders can go currently. The stretch in my shoulders hurts more than my legs during the set.Originally Posted by bamzi

Squat is depressing. It's wrong, but I don't really know how to fix it. I don't know what it should feel like. I'm too vertical even though I'm trying to go more horizontal. I wish I knew what a correct squat was suppose to feel like.

Everyone I've seen squat at my gym has a very different form. They take an extremely wide stance with toes flared 45 degrees and squat with a perpendicular back, and no forward knee motion while looking straight up at the ceiling. They are not impressed with my form.
Watching the video I see that I need to stand up at the end of the reps.

Bring your feet in. About shoulder width. When you start to squat, about the 1/3 of the way down, keep your knee locked so it's just over your toes. In your last video, your knees are about right as you go down but, move back and forth on the way up.
Fix that and it will help.
The other members are squatting like a geared Powerlifter. Disregard it until you are to advanced for TM.

I'm afraid the old fashion low bar squat is going to go extinct.

Work on your inflexibility and keep it around. Mentor others.
Now quit worrying about it and go work on your squat.
