    These are a little high and you're hesitating for a second at the bottom before driving up. Getting depth should help with the bounce out of the bottom. Focus on driving your hips up out of the bottom as well.

    Get those knees set earlier and shove them out a little more. That will help to get depth. Dujin is right, you need more hip drive.

    I am trying my best to shove the knees out.

    I have some soreness in my knees. What could be causing that and how can i fix it?

    Few things that could be contributing to it. First, it looks like you are squatting with your knees rather than your hips. You need to drive your butt up.
    Next, you need to hit depth so you can get the bounce.
    You see how your knees keep going forward until you hit the bottom. You need to get your knees set within the first third or half of your descent.

    Perhaps trying some sets with a TUBOW will help.

    I have changed my shoes to weightlifting shoes.
    I have changed to shorts.

    Previously I had pain in outside corners of my knees.

    Now I have pain in inside corners of my knees.

    And these look worse. What is wrong.

    Bring toes in to 30 degrees. Femurs track in line with feet. Brace your abs and lower back harder. Keep driving your hips. Your form is getting better.

    Depth as there, but you got is by relaxing your lower back at the bottom. This is going to give you back pain as the weight get heavier.

    On previous sets, you had a tendency to let your upper back bend, now your lower back is doing it.

    I'd suggest that your stance for this set was too narrow.

    These aren't as bad as a lot of stuff that's submitted, but you have to keep the trunk rigid to maintain hamstring tension for the bounce.

    In previous Set i just concentrated on getting the knees out.. In this set i was concentrating on keeping the knees out and the master cue.

    What am i doing wrong thats rounding my lower back and how do i fix it? Should i cut off depth? Change stance width? Put knees more out?
