    You've got a little bit of butt wink. A much bigger issue is that you need to point your feet a lot more forward. Your knees are tracking inside of your feet.

    not sure if its just camera angle but looks like that bar is too high sitting on your neck and your right foot is ahead of your left, that can be sign of muscle imbalance or can cause it butt wink is not too bad

    This makes me want to take a video of myself.
    Do you use a power rack? That bar is resting to high you have to do a calf raise just to get it up,
    I hate those racks because I can never go low enough without hitting that side bar.

    You need to take a lot of weight off the bar and relearn the squat.

    You are racking from too high, and taking it off the pins with your toes. You should be taking the bar off the pins with a '6 inch squat', not a calf raise. You should then be taking one solid step back into your squat position. Your feet need to be straightened out a lot, and your knees need to be pushed out more. You are also leaning forward and taking the weight on your toes at the bottom of each rep. Your weight should remain in the centre of your feet, or towards the heels.

    Try this: Take a position on all fours on the floor and slowly push yourself back. Have someone check which point you go into butt wink. This is the low point of your squat, so you should be able to hit that depth with no butt wink.

    Also, try dropping into a full depth squat with no weight. Can you sit there comfortably for a full minute?

    This was a different gym and the only full squat rack was taken so I had to use this and the things were too high and I agree those things on the side are annoying I keep hitting them too lol

    Thanks for the in depth analysis. I don't usually unrack that high this was just due to certain circumstances.

    I don't think I can comfortably sit in that position..I have severe mobility issues that need to be addressed I can't even sit with my feet crossed anymore

    I would address these issues before trying to push yourself on squats.
