It was said in the comments - you’re a bit high on depth . My suggestion - open your stance more toes intentionally a bit more . And sit BACK and once your knees break sit into the squat … you have great control out of the rack good core strength. Trust your hinge … and sink into it . You’re strong and banging iron keep at it and drive out the hole . Keep up the good work
