    Depth looked good. Not sure, but it looks like you shoot your hips back a bit radically - probably not a big deal. Only thing I noticed was your knees caving in a bit. There's always something to work on I guess. One of the more experienced folks will probably see something.

    Knees caving--------> shove knees out wider than you think you should
    Knees/hips moving backwards on the ascent------->think "knees planted"

    Looking back over that thread, I think Tom's suggestion to keep the whole leg tight from the start is a good one. But thinking about keep the "knees planted" in space over the foot as you rise is a good cue, although there are others depending on what type of success or lack thereof you experience using that one.

    One thing I noticed that doesn't really relate to your form per se, is that you may have the rack a touch high. In one set it almost fell over when you unracked it.
