Not egregiously bad. I'll take it! It is definitely a massive improvement from where I was before I started posting vids.
I think the chin/tennis ball thing is a good idea. I'll try to work that in for sure. I'll give the ankle mobility stuff a try too at some point.
As far as warm-ups go, that my be a leak for me. My warm up for squats is to squat. I do about 50 air squats, 3 sets of 10 with just the bar and then I see how I'm feeling. If something feels tight then I may do a stretch of that muscle group specifically (but this doesn't happen too often). I guess I just feel like doing the movement a lot helps stretch things out. Thoughts?
Unfortunately I hurt my ankle playing soccer today. It's not too bad I don't think, but it may be a while before I squat again (hopefully not more than a week). At least it's not a torn achilles.
Thanks again for taking a look.
Also can you help translate this comment from the SS forum on the vid you posted there

In addition to/reiteration of what's been said, you're starting on your heels, driving the chest up instead of the hips, and not fixing your gaze on a spot 4-6 feet in front of you on the floor. Basically, you're trying to high-bar squat. Fix the gaze, learn to hip-drive, profit.
I'm not quite clear on what he means on the bolded stuff. I think he may be on to something though.
