    I think my biggest question is how much knee travel (forward or backward) is acceptable? I really want to make sure I have my form down.

    I don't see anything wrong with those. That's how a low bar squat should look. Strong work.

    I wish my lower back and hips looked that good at the bottom.

    What kind of shoes are you wearing?

    I missed this on the initial reading. Your knees are getting into a good place each time. You want to make sure that the knees get where they need to go by about halfway down. You do this pretty well on just about all of your reps. The knees little in front of the toes is where most people end up, although that varies from person to person based on segment length.

    Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. I don't have anyone around me to look at my technique and I can spot things that are real out of whack, so I wanted to see if I was missing anything.

    They are the Nike Romaleos that Rogue is selling right now. I had a pair of the older Rogue Do-Wins but the heel started coming off them, so I indulged myself...a lot.
