    Eric, nice work. Be focused on staying tight at the bottom - on a couple of reps you bounce into the back of your calves. It might help to look a bit more forward and so directly down.

    Thanks. Looking too far down has become a habit, probably I have gotten used to seeing my knees set in place. I need to get better body awareness instead. And yes, tightness in the hole could always improve. Will keep that in mind during the next training session

    Put a mark on the floor to aim your face at. It helped me.

    A few minor things I noticed (being nit-picky and giving you something to watch):

    1. Second rep, it looks like your upper body went down a bit more than you expected? You corrected quickly, but it looked like it started turning into a good morning.
    2. Fifth rep didn't reach depth
