Angle might be a bit deceiving but it looks like you are trying to arch your back instead of keeping it neutral which is not the best thing.
Other than that I think it looks good, depth is great, knee position is good, good head and arm positions.
Yea its a funny angle, small uni rec center no where to film from a good angle, thanks brah, any tips for oly squatting and beginning classic lifts?

Way too low, we only do quarter squats around here bro. Any deeper is bad for the knees
tommy pls

Just my 2 cents and it's hard to tell from this angle without feet shown, but your bar seems to track a bit forward. How tight do you feel around the trap/rhomboid area? I tend to keep my elbows slightly more fwd to get a good shelf and to keep my bar vertical. What it looks like you do is to keep the hands a bit more inside of the shoulders, which also creates a shelf. What you don't want to do is become more vertical if you mess with how you present the bar to your traps, and your physiology should dictate that. I LIKE where you have the bar so for me it's hands and elbows, which is just personal preference. I don't see a big need to change. Your grip looked fine and I thought your depth was great.
Overall your squats looked really good to me. The bit about whether the bar comes forward is about the way down, where it seems to go in front of your midfoot, possibly in front of your toes. The more vertical the lift, as I'm sure you realize, the more efficient it is. Your overall movement looks mostly vertical, so you'd have to get a better angle to determine bar path.
EDIT: I noticed the arch Plaad mentioned but I thought you were just sticking it a bit b/c the bar tracked fwd so you might be digging under it.
That's the one, ty :) Gonna have to get that on my playlist. Wasn't sure about the 2nd song and I actually thought maybe it was the build up for the 3rd.
Thanks bb, yea its a awkward angle but I keep the bar in the middle of my foot. Upper back is tight but i forget to cue for elbows.
