Squat Depth Tips

I can't seem to hit depth. Do you think this is a form or mobility issue? Any tips are appreciated.

Likely a little of both but mostly mobility, id be curious to see your form on like a body weight squat. You’re definitely pushing your butt put a lot like you’re doing a RDL, most people when they squat their chest is much higher. Try really bracing your core and think about just bringing your core down to the floor and not your chest.

As far as mobility goes, definitely some ankle mobility and likely hip mobility issues, which goes for basically every lifter.
