    Hey Sean
    Not bad. I'd bring your stance in a bit. You're wider than you need to be. Heels more under the shoulders.
    It's subtle, but your hip and knee timing is off a little at the start. Your hips go back before the knees break and start their travel. The issue this creates is that you're starting the squat more toward your heels and then shift forward to midfoot as you get the bottom, making the knees late to get home. Sometimes when it's heavy enough or if you're not tight enough to the bottom, you'll actually over-shoot midfoot in the bottom. Either way, work on getting the knees out and forward at the same time you send the hips back, and ride that midfoot line all the way down.
