    Any feedback would be appreciated. Hopefully depth is better on these ones.

    Your knees could travel all the way forward until they touch the floor and you would still not be below parallel. You have to correct this knee slide.

    Thanks for the advice, I will look into this and try to correct it.

    These are *better*, but your femurs are in the way of your hips. Knees OUT, not FORWARD.

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, I found some helpful starting strength videos on this, tried positioning a foam roller in front my toe so it's obvious if my knee is sliding out too far.

    Not SSC so take that with a grain of salt.

    Point your toes out slightly more, and if I'm not mistaken you could even try widening your stance a bit. Sit back, knees out. Look at a focal point somewhere down, not at yourself in the mirror - this is killing your hip drive and causing you to raise your chest, hence making the set unnecessarily harder.
