Hip drive, not chest drive. And I'd like a 45* rear view to see how your back positioning is.

Thanks for the reply baresteel, sorry about the angle, its kinda hard to get one at that gym but I will try to get a better angle.

BareSteel's right, it's hard to tell much from this angle. However, it looks to me like you are fighting for a vertical back. This seems to be causing three things: (1) you are overextended a bit on the way down from what I call "arching against the bar"; (2) You are forced to try and hit depth by sliding your knees forward at the bottom, causing you to still be a bit high; and (3) like BareSteel noted, you are leading with your chest early (about halfway up). These are pretty good squats, but my suggestions would be to let yourself lean over, get depth by closing the hip angle (shoving your hips back and down), and stay in the hips longer on your way up. Other than leading with your chest early the fifth rep of this set was pretty spot on.
