    Not bad. I think you are a little close to the bar at setup, causing your shins to be a little more vertical than we like. This puts most of the weight on the heel of the foot vice distributed evenly across the foot. I would also cue you to squeeze your chest up harder...

    So in summary: Back up from the bar *a little bit* (1/2 inch?) and squeeze your chest up harder before starting the lift.

    Nice job overall.
