    Depth is good, you're driving your hips up well. It looks to me like your knees are sliding forward throughout the movement, though. If that's correct, then the solution is to get the knees set earlier, and reach back with the hips more. It would help if more experienced observers could confirm or correct me on this.

    I went to compare this to your earlier post, Jack, but something's wrong with that video. Could you take a look and make sure that the link in this post works again, or at least get that same video back up and post to that thread with an updated link? Squat Form Check - August 12, 2022.

    I'd hate to see you run into trouble with the posting rules: Required reading before posting

    I agree with the knee slide but I'm not more experienced. Although it's hard to tell from the angle, I think there's some knee valgus also. Maybe the stance is a hair wide?

    Also needs to either lower the American flag or stop looking at it.

    they look good, some slight chest cave on the ascent which will correct as you progress and get stronger

    You are raising your chest early, which can be corrected now.

    Your grip and upper back could stand to be a lot tighter.
