Idk about proportions. Could be part of it. My knees used to slide forward, but I figured out it was a problem when I started getting shooting pains in my hips.

Ok, I see you saw the bar moving forward in the form check thread. FYI, I felt weaker for awhile when I was fixing this. When you go forward like that you're lifting more with your quads, so I think I had built up a bit of an imbalance that way.
Yeah I definitely see it now when I look for it. I should reset and work on form. But how do I engage my hamstrings? Is there a trick?
btw, it's hard to tell from this video, but my stance is so much better than it used to be. Feet are closer together and more V-like. My stance is now what it would be if I squatted all the way to the ground like a baby. Best part about it is no knee pain of any kind. It's so great.
