    I would suggest squatting on the floor rather than a wall.

    Check your back angle. Do you see how vertical it is? It's making your knees travel forward at the bottom. The knees go forward a little during the first part of the descent, and then they stop moving, while hip flexion takes you most of the way down.

    I was told to really push my knees out and then imagine that there was a door behind me that I needed to open with my rear end. Maybe it will help you.

    Also, you are going to hurt your elbows if you keep your wrists like that.

    I laughed way too much at this :-)

    The squat kind of looks like a solid start to a high-bar squat, but I have a feeling that's not what he's going for.
