    You need to use more Hip Drive. Drive those hips all the way up to the top. Don't raise your chest early when it gets hard. The bar is about an inch high on your back. Review this video here http://startingstrength.com/index.ph...t_bar_position. Lastly make sure you take a big breath and hold it the entire rep. Your doing a great job and post another video soon.

    Is it possible the camera angle (set at hip height) is making the bar appear high? I ask because in my videos the bar looks like it is in the same place but I know my bar placement is correct.

    Check this vid for reference, shot in the same garage from the same relative height (hip height for each lifter). The bar looks like it is in the same position but is sitting just below the scapular spine.

    That maybe right. Since you guys train in the same garage just to be sure check each other next time you train.

    Nice shoes! The hip drive looks much better here. When you take the big breath brace your abs like your about to take a punch in the gut and make sure you stand up tall in between reps. Overall these squats are looking very good. Post another video soon.
