Running LP again...
After a long break I'm running through the basic program again. Unfortunately the new gym I'm using has a mirror right in front of the squat rack, and I can't simply move the hooks to the opposing uprights like I did at my old gym. I've already noticed that I'm having trouble keeping my head down, and I'm worried that I'm losing hip drive. After watching the video, I'm also worried that I'm not hitting proper depth. Any help would be appreciated.

Put a small plate on the ground and stare at it, not the mirror.
Shove your knees forward more. You're just sitting back in this video. Knees go forward and out, hips to back and down. Go deeper (knees out will help this). Hip drive is ok, but stay with it.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to incorporate your suggestions; does this look any better?

Yes, these are way better. Now, stop bouncing around so much at the top. Get tight and stable. Stretch back into the bottom and fire up hard.

Something is definitely off. In my third set I lost extension in my back; I believe it was caused by either losing the weight forward or…sitting back too much? I’m not sure what haha. Anyway, you can see my head shoot up on the last rep as the bar rolled up my back a little bit.
Looking at the video, I’m also still having trouble hitting depth. This was my second attempt at this weight; I had similar results last time except I seemed to be going a bit deeper.

I tried to get more angles this time in case that would be helpful. Again, thanks SO MUCH for your help.
