I'm learning them according to starting strength low bar squat. Currently at 180 lbs. I know the following, I should:

Squeeze my glutes and abs. Have my upper body tight. Push out knees. Look down. I see now that I did not look down (dumb mirrors in my gym) and I still need to remember to push my knees out even further, but its definitly better then it used to. I'm squeezing my glutes and abs and think my upper body is tight.

I'm not sure about the depth. I hope its alright (parallel), I don't try to go farther then parallel because of my butt wink. Don't know how I can fix that, but its one of the reasons I stop at parallel.

What do you think about the form?

Thank you for any input!

PS: How does one embed videos?

What's a "butt wink"?

It means my butt rounds at the bottom. I don't know if it is so extreme that I should even care about. I hear some people saying its bad and some people saying close to everyone has it to some degree. Don't know if mines acceptable.

Work on hip mobility to fix butt wink and actually hit depth. You are high in that vid by a few inches. Look on mobilitywod and various youtube vids for hip stretches.

The biggest thing is, you are way too loose. Really tighten your upper back, push out on your stomach as much as possible, step back, and take a slight re-breath to get super tight.
