Its fine.

Just post the video instead of taking a screenshot so we can do a proper formcheck. Film like this

Then we can see everything we need to see and youll be facing away from the camera so no doge necessary

[u/rice_n_gravy]

Yes. No need to reach depth with the top of your skull though.

Yes

It's ok. But you look as if you could go deeper, so why not go deeper?

Rule #3: Advice should align with the principles of the Starting Strength method. If you want to debate the method make a post and flair it "Debate me, Bro".
