    After the feedback, I widened my stance. I'm now focusing on setting knees, slow decent, getting horizontal early on the way down, and eliminating knee slide. Here is the previous thread.

    Bend at the hips and knees at the same exact time. Look at the same spot during the entire rep.

    These are better as far as back angle. They're just a little jerky with the hips and knees.

    Thank you, Andrew!

    I noticed my knees aren’t completely still (they do slide at the bottom but not nearly as bad). Will bending at hips and knees at the same time aide with the knee stillness or am I overthinking it?

    It might. I wouldn't it would inherently help, but I'd bet controlling the knee and hip position in a smooth manner would help a little.
