Just started LP, would really appreciate a form check on my squats and a few pointers of things I can work on if possible.
Is it normal that I'm stronger on my bench (65kg) than my squat (60kg) when first starting out, squatting 60kg seems so much harder than benching 65kg

Side view is not the best, but from what it shows:
1) Start each rep standing all the way up (you are starting with your knees bent)
2) Prepare for each rep by taking a big breath and tightening your abs (your are instead arching your back/chest up too much).
3) Shove your knees out hard and stop just below parallel (you are going too deep)
4) I can't tell from this angle, but make sure your feet are shoulder width apart with toes turned out about 30 degrees.
5) Many of the reps you aren't leaning over quite enough in the beginning. Remember you need to lean over to get the bar over mid-foot.
