Drive your hips beneath the bar and you wont GM so much.
Look pretty good though.

This. Form looks solid until you kind of get caught at the bottom and your hips stay back and you have to kind of leg press/good AM the weight up. For me I focus on sitting back on the way down, arching hard, and then shooting my hips forward as I come out of the hole. Try to keep the weight over your hips instead of your quads/knees.Originally Posted by sheepyd
The main thing that has helped me go from utterly pathetic to simply miserable in terms of form and ability in the squat, is squatting ALOT with Smolov. Also, and this is probably because my core is undertrained badly I have gotten better at maintaining my arch with an ab wheel I bought at Target for 8 bucks. If you can get some hip drive you'll pick up 20+ pounds quickly. Keep up the good work.

I already have a cheapo ab wheel. I just need to use it more.

Good man! For what my suggestions are worth, I agree with the kiwi. Get your hips under the damn bar.
It seems like you are very conscious of sitting back in to the squat and it's almost being over exaggerated to the point where it's detrimental. To balance your COG, you have a much more advanced torso angle at the bottom of the lift than perhaps you need.
Personally, if they were my squats - I'd actually try sitting back a bit less, your lower back arch is amazing and you obviously have enough strength there to transfer the power, the issue is just that it's not being transferred directly enough due the the deviation in your COG and outlying extremities.
Just a thought
