that is the position. now you need to really use explosive hip extension to make the bar move. you are pulling with your arms quite a bit. they need to be straight, like ropes tying the bar to your shoulders. only once the bar is accelerated through hip extension should they begin bending as you get under the bar.
they look pretty dece. You're losing the weight forward a bit. Chest up. You could also experiment with cutting them off slightly higher. Depth is great, but you don't want to sacrifice hamstring tension and stability for an extra inch of depth when you're already well below parallel.
Thanks. Pitching forward is slowly getting better I think but ya Ill keep working on it. Is there any benefit to cutting them off higher? I think the extra depth helps me make sure I use my hammys and glutes

Alright, need to work on that then. At least I think I now know approximately how the lift should look/feel. Thanks for all your help.
you're trying too hard to pull with low hips, and it's leaving your scapulae behind the bar. gotta fix that setup to get your shoulders in front of the bar.
yeah, much better. i'd try not using the heeled shoes. either barefoot or anything flat, like chucks. it should help with that last bit of lumbar extension.
Thanks KC! I kept looking at it and couldn't decide whether my knees were sliding in at all or not out of the hole, was wondering if anybody would say anything. Always nice to get the approval of such a beastly squatter though
