    These are lighter than last time but I think I got depth low enough to break parallel but high enough not to bottom out. But I've been told that camera height was less than ideal, hence the need for professional assessment.

    Every rep, except perhaps four, was a little too high. About an inch or two. I suspect you need to drive your knees out more, although I cannot tell from here. That would get you deeper and potentially clean up the bit of knee slide you have at the bottom.

    have any tips about how not to bring your hips forward at the top of the Squat?

    Besides, "Don't bring your hips forward at the top of a squat?" I was unaware that this was big problem. The top of the squat is the easy part. You just stand up straight. I am confused.

    isn't the hips going forward in the video? I feel hips naturally come forward that's why I asked the question...

    did you not watch DannyP's video and see his hips go forward at the top position?

    Thanks. So, for reference, would these, from like two weeks ago, be the right depth to shoot for? When I first took and reviewed the clip I thought these had gone too deep but perhaps that's not the case:

    That's just below parallel. The reason you probably didn't like those is that you are getting loose at the bottom, allowing the knees to slide forward and your back to round. Das ist nicht gut. Without a rear oblique shot, I am missing important info. Blessed are those that read the sticky on how to film form checks.

    I watched his video the first time and just watched it again. His hips do what everyone's hips do at the top of the squat. Where do you see them go forward? What does that mean? Are you suggesting that he is putting his spine into overextension and pushing his hips forward of his toes? If so, that certainly is not happening. The bar would fall off his back. The squat starts from as close to normal anatomical position as you can get with a heavy bar on your back. That means your knees and hips will be fully extended.
