Squat form check video

[scotthm2]

Hey, originally posted this in my journal but another user suggested I post here for more help. I am too lazy to edit so just copied the whole post over. Sorry if some stuff is out of context. Also note: squats don't usually hurt my shoulder I just injured that separately at training the night before. I would have liked to squat heavier (40kg is pretty light for me) but aforementioned shoulder wasn't up to it. Anyway here is post from my journal:

As well as bum tuck at bottom (discussed in previous post). I am thinking my depth isnt great?
I was in an accident over summer (got run over). As a result my right ankle doesn't have great ROM and left shoulder is pretty bad as well. Anyway the ankle really makes full squats a lot more difficult than they used to be but I am slowly working on getting my mobility back on that one.

Like I said before: be cruel to be kind. I can take it....I think ;-)

It looks like your upper body is leaning too far forward, try looking up higher towards the ceiling as that may help. I've always been taught if you see yourself in the mirror while you are squatting you are doing it wrong.

Thanks, will try the looking up thing.

Depth is good on most reps, speed's impressive, but I think you're lacking tightness and you're not bringing your hips through at the top.

I'd get rid of the mirror while squatting and try to focus on a specific point in front of you while squatting. When you set up for each rep, try to pull your face back into the bar and at the same time try to pull the bar into your back. Meanwhile treat your elbows and scapulae as if you're at the peak of a row or pull up and keep your chest up.

As you approach the top of the squat, drive your hips forward, much like you should be doing while deadlifting, trying to get full extension at the hips, not just at the knees.
