    I think you could get your knees forward just a little earlier. Your knee ache could be attributed to them having a little movement at the bottom. Get the forward and lock them in place, then sit back / bend over.

    Some of these reps (on the set viewed from the oblique especially) looked borderline. I think your stance might be just a bit wide, like an inch. Narrowing owuld help you get your knees out a little better and fix the depth issue. This could also be contributing to knee pain.

    Finally, you look like you're on your heels. Make sure your weight is midfoot. Rock onto your toes a bit, then rock back slight from that and make sure weight is in the middle, not on your heels.

    But at this point we're picking over details. These are very good.
