Squat form check

[Bokusu]

Hello.

I've been lurking on here for the last month or so and finally decided to register, mainly because I could really use some help with my squat technique.

I began my linear progression three weeks ago and have made some progress. However, on the squat I experienced some hip pain (hip flexors, I surmise) and have been slowed significantly. I'm sure my poor technique is the culprit, but I'm unsure of how to fix it.

Here is a work set at 87.5kg from yesterday. I look forward to any assistance.

Get your knees forward earlier. They should be in their final horizontal position by about a half squat. Then point your nipples to the ground and sit your hips back.

Having an oblique view would help a lot, but it doesn't look like your pushing your knees away from each other enough.
