Do you think my stance is too narrow possibly? Thanks for the advice alsoOriginally Posted by Jeff Illingworth

Possibly. Hard to tell if that is the case (issue with the 45 degree angle camera view, it isn't perfect). Typical causes of not hitting depth are too narrow of stance, toes not out wide enough, not keeping your knees out, or trying to squat too upright. If on the descent you feel like your ass doesn't have room, take a wider stance.

As Dalton said, it's hard to tell from these videos, but I'd give it a try. Starting on your first warm-up, widen your stance about a half-foot's width and go from there. Really work on aiming your chest at the ground from the beginning of the rep.

Hi there,
From this angle it looks like you need to open your stance an inch on each side.
1. Shove your knees out as hard as you can from the top of the rep
2. Point your nipples at the floor
3. Fix your eyes and chin at one point on the floor 3-5 feet in front of you
4. HIP DRIVE! you're "chesty", meaning all your reps are led by your chest from about half-way up, stay in your hips until you're locking you knees, hips, and chest at lockout
