Squat Form Check

I visited Matt Reynolds last weekend and have been working hard to follow his advice. I'm trying to keep my shins more vertical, ass back, and lean over more. I'm trying but my bar oath is way off and I seem to be losing tension in the hole. What am I missing?

I would need to see a video from the rear oblique, but I suspect your knees are collapsing in. You also are coming out of your hips and lifting your chest when it gets difficult. Let me see a set at 200 for five at hip height from between 30 and 45 degrees from the side. Work hard to keep your knees in place once you are halfway down and drive your butt up all the way to the top. Fight the tendency to let your knees shift forward about halfway up on the ascent while you lift the chest.

Thanks! Here is a vid at 205.

That was the wrong video... here's the right one. Is the camera too low?

Most of your reps are a smidge high. Drive your knees way out. That should get you your depth and also help a little with your knees sliding forward. Drive your butt up all the way to the top.
