    Get a TUBOW like Mark said. Along with setting the knees early you need to establish the back angle sooner. Your previous 100kg in post #27 is better in this regard. You need to correct both of these aspects and the TUBOW will allow you to focus on the back angle while reminding you of what your knees are doing.

    One thing is for sure . he makes it look a lot easier in his video than it actually is.
    I am hoping he can fix me on the platform somehow. I might be his hardest case yet.

    I see your hips go back well at the top of the movement, but pull forward at the bottom again as you try to hit depth, consistent with the knees sliding. Have you checked out this video from Dr. Sullivan?

    Here are a four paused squats.

    For some reason these look better to me, not sure about the depth though.
    Strangely i feel everything stretching to its limit though

    If you are not sure of the depth, don't post them.

    Parallel isn't the metric.

    ok, it is probably 1-3 cm below parallel and I meant I am not sure about the depth because of the video angle.
    The video is 30 seconds long, but thanks anyway.

    It is exactly an inch (5,54 cm) too high, or above parallel. When you get to the proper below parallel position, you will a bounce, use it to drive your ass high. But look, until you are squatting 130 kg for three sets of five, always assume you are gonna squat too high, so always go lower than you want and ALWAYS lean your ass back more than you want.

    That's because you're allowing almost zero dorsiflexion. Move your knees forward during the first half of the descent and then lock them in place. Looks like you're trying to lock them in place right from the start.
