Some may know it as Lumbar Flexion. Also OP.
Goblet squats
Over head squats (grab a broomstick or something)
Stretch every day

well I mean I get it- 20 people off the street- but someone who actually lifts I expect would know a little more. Shrug- my expectations are to high it seems. [/quote]
I posted this with hope of first hand insight from people who have dealt with butt wink before or tips I haven't previously heard of. Although I don't know everything about fitness, I do know quite a bit. I have dabbed with common suggestions such as goblet squats, more stretching, adjust foot angle, brace abs, etc. and have found my butt wink to survive through all that. I have read numerous articles from the likes of bodybuilding.com, muscle & fitness, strength theory, t-nation but my butt wink is still there. Don't assume I have not done any research.

Wondering if the OP ever fixed his form? I've been struggling with the same issue; I can't even get to parallel before my butt starts to tuck under.0

improve hip mobility and increase core and glute strength.
these are also the same things that fix the anterior pelvic tilt posture issue.
experiment with widening your stance, not squatting so low (get to parallel but do not go lower if it causes "butt wink"), trying a high-bar position or front squatting (both produce a more upright torso).0
