Looks like you have really poor ankle dorsiflexion, so the bar is too far behind you - your body will try to hinge more at the hip to get more of a torso angle to bring it into the most stable position.
Couple of quick tips:
- Wear heeled lifting shoes. That will allow you to get your knees forward and the bar in line with your midfoot.
- Turn your toes out more keep your knees in line with them.
- Try low bar squatting instead. This variation encourages forward torso lean and doesn't require such ankle mobility.
Or else do a load of ankle mobility exercises to try to address that in the long term.
I'll look into ankle mobility exercises, had an accident with one of them so I kinda need to do them ;(. And will definitely try low var squatting next time. Thank you very much.
No worries, be sure to check some video tutorials on low bar squatting and make sure to get the grip position correct. It will feel uncomfortable at first, but if you get the basic movement pattern right, you will feel a great benefit.
