    Default Squat deep enough?

    The video's here.
    A triple of 130kg / 286.6lb

    I know I know, if I have to ask it probably means the squat wasn't deep enough.

    Nope. Your stance looks way too wide. Check on that.

    Not to depth. Narrow your stance an inch...maybe more. It will help. Keep working at lighter weights to set your knees and bend over more and butt back. Once up to working weight, keep tight and trust muscle memory. It may take a few sessions to iron out. You near an SSC? A session or two will get your form tip top ASAP.

    I figured as much, it "felt" hard on the posterior chain but right after I watched the video I knew depth was very questionable. Thanks for the tips!

    No Starting Strength Coaches in Portugal that I know of (closest is UK I think).

    Yeah. Closest SSC is probably U.K. or Germany. There always ssonlinecoaching or this forum. SSOC has good YouTube videos showing best camera angles for debrief if you want the other lifts looked at.

    Ever been to NYC? Best city in the world. I'd have that squat fixed up in 10mins. Since you're getting strong, weightlifting shoes would be an excellent investment!
