    Hi, could anyone tell me what in the world I am doing wrong here? Are my knees too much forward? Is back angle reasonable? I think the bar is over my tows instead of mid foot. I used to try to keep my knees back and that would make things way more difficult. If I squat letting my knees go naturally forward I am having much better time under the bar. What do I do to keep the bar over mid foot? Merry Christmas everyone.

    You didn't drive your hips enough - you picked your chest up when you tried to finish the rep. Stay in your hips. Keep driving your butt up.
    These are also questionable on depth. Get bent over and bounce your butt up out of the bottom.

    You also gave up. That didn't help.

    Is my back angle sufficient? I think the bar travels way forward mid foot. I don't know how to get it over midfoot especially if i bend over more. what say you? thanks

    Bending over more will make it more midfoot IF you get your hips back as you bend over.
