    I’ve been working on correcting my squat form as I had a slew of bad habits; raising head, too much depth, back angle getting too horizontal on ascent, etc.. I’ve used the book and other posts within the forum to self-diagnose up to now and would like to ensure I’m on the right track and start working on any corrections ASAP. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

    You're driving chest up, not your hips.

    I've lost count of the number of times I've watched Ryan's video, trying to figure out how you see that he's driving his chest up instead of his hips. It's so subtle. His hips appear to initiate the ascent - but is his back angle opening up too soon? Is that the 'tell'?
