Roger. I can't tell too well but on Mike's pic are your feet at a 45? Mine are straight ahead. I will remember to keep hips and knees parallel from now on.

Its a little hard to tell how your feet are positioned but if you look at Mikes picture you can see where they should be. Definatley a little deeper and maybe a little more "controlled" I find it easier to slow the movements down intially until you get a good feel for the movement. If you come down to fast you can get a little sloppy. I do it all the time and have to remind myself to control a little better.

We actually do front squats more often than back squats, this cycle is a bit different... it's an important lift to learn, especially since you're trying to get your clean/squat clean, etc down

Gotta drop a little deeper (hips parallel with knees), just a couple inches deeper.  Not bad though, have you tried front squats?

Also, the video is sideways and was a tremendous pain to even convert from whatever form I got these in. I apologize for that. Logically the thing to do would be to flip your computer monitor on its side due to my own laziness (sarcasm).
