    I know, form imperfect but chronic issues aside, I'm getting near maximal weights

    Depth looks OK but you're not burying it either.

    You're knees are sliding forward a lot though. Will result in shitty hips.

    May need to play with stance a bit. I take a pretty wide stance, because I find I get the best "bounce" out of the hole that way but yea, as the weight gets heavier the knees travel more.

    That's pretty close to call....(said from someone who has to scrutinize his own squats in slow motion sometimes to confirm/reject depth). Crease of your hip is no doubt below the highest part of your quad. But your needs seem a bit lower down than your thigh (muscle or just the contour of your leg).

    Is there an SSC out there who can give us a ruling?

    Depth is fine; fix the knee slide in the bottom; also keep your back squeezed tight the entire time. A rear quarter angle will be more helpful in seeing some other details.

    Yes, yes, eventually will get to it. In terms of scheduling (work, family, other responsibilities) just not in the cards at the moment; barely get to escape to the gym three times a week...
