Bend your knees right away - the hips and knees should bend at the same time. Right now, you're shoving your butt back first.

You need to learn how to control your lower back. It's flexing a little at the bottom.

Is there a reason you're pausing so long in between each rep?

Hey, sorry for such a late response! Would you happen to have any tips to get rid of the flexion at the bottom? I can control my lower back easily, and can isometrically contract it during the deadlift with no problem. For some reason, I cant apply it to the squats, which is very annoying. (Sorry for dumb question)

It's not that bad. Squeeze harder from the abs, against the belt.
