    Those look pretty damn good to me. Your bar speed is excellent, as is your hip drive. Back angle and depth are all very good. You may have a tendency to let the knees come in a little at the bottom, but I cannot really tell from the video. If it is happening, it is not excessive. That may also be a function of shooting your hips back slightly at first, instead of up. That's pretty nit-picky, too. You have the fundamentals nicely covered. Very nice work.

    Hi JT,

    maybe, just maybe, your knees are coming in a tiny bit. You can't seem them directly, but if you look at what your right shin is doing, you can see it is sweeping a little bit right/left.
    But I concur with TomC, it's just a detail, and the rest looks good.

    Looks like a pretty damn reasonable set of 5 to me. Lots of room for progress!

    Thanks guys!

    Also, around :31, do you see the guy in the mirror doing tricep kickbacks? Just kinda makes me smile.
