In these squats you are bending your knees first and descending too vertical. Think about your hips. Initiate the movement by sending your hips back towards the wall behind you. LEAN OVER by thinking about pointing your nipples at the floor.
DL - The bar is forward of midfoot when you set up which is causing the curved bar path. On rep #1 you need to set up with your shins 1in from the bar. On reps 2-5 you must reset the bar to the same spot. You are resetting it closer to your toes
