Looks good, could be deeper, and I hate backing into the rack when I finish a set, it feels dangerous.Originally Posted by PulseTraining

First off squat facing the rack man. Backing into the rack after a fatiguing set of squats is a recipe for a whipeout where you could get seriously hurt.
Your squats are miles high. When you are in the bottom you want the crease of your hips to be below the top of your patella (knees) You're at least 5 inches off.
Lower the weight and work on depth. If you feel like you can't achieve depth, play around with stance width and feet angle, and work on hip and ankle mobility.Training log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=172508601

Looks good, but I also agree depth could be a tiny bit lower. I don't think you need to go 5 inches deeper but maybe an inch or 2. You might want some better shoes as well. Ones with a hard sole.
