Form is ok, but try to do them a little slower and focus on form and bracing. Your heals seems to raise a little, which indicates that the weight is not balanced over the middle of your foot
Furthermore, you seem to be rounding your back a little. Take some weight off and get this stuff fixed
The whole world's hip and thats not cool.

Back squat is good, just try to keep the weight over the mid foot rather than it shifting forward to the toes.
Front squat is different: keep the torso more upright and aim to push your hips between your feet. If your torso keeps going forwards like it is, you'll be fighting the keep balance and be limited by your back.

Just keep these cues in mind:
Bar over feet.
Hips down, not back.
Keep the chest high.
Push the ground away.

Found a video on YouTube. This guy has a good technique.
You'll notice the first error he makes is very much like yours.

Thanks for the feedback Yoel, that vid was super helpful. It's really tricky but I think the pushing hips forward or in line with my feet helps me stay forward and more upright instead of sitting pretty far back as I do in a back squat.Originally Posted by YoelDovid
