    Default squat form check (hipdrive?)

    Dear coaches, could you look into my squat please? I think i use too little hip drive and 'good morning' the weight up too soon?
    Also, i think my knees travel too much forward, especially in the first set, tried to focus more on this in second set...

    Any other obvious big form errors?

    set 1, side view


    set 2, side view


    set 3, front view

    (don't mind the skewed view on this one, i think it's a combination of lens distortion and a really skewed wall...)

    Thanks for looking!

    When you unrack the bar, stand up straighter. Lift your chest and drop your elbows a little. Right now, you are starting every rep in mild spinal flexion. Work hard to keep the bar over the middle of your foot. It is moving forward as you descend. Some of your reps may be too high. Tough to say for sure since you are backlit. Stay tighter at the bottom. Eat.
