    if you want to squat low bar then you need to sit back further into the squat, at the moment you are doing a cross between the 2.

    IF you struggle with this a great way to learn is to squat back onto a bench or a box.

    I also wouldn't squat in those shoes you are wearing, get something with a flat sole or squat in socks.

    this a good video

    There's a reason people powerlift well into their 50s and 60s, but you don't see many old olympic lifters that can still hold their own.

    granted this guy looks old as hell, that might only be 185.

    She seems to be using a low bar stance. I don't think her knees are that bad. I probably do about the same.

    A full squat all the way down still has benefits as it feels that you will get a better squeeze. If your legs don't for ma full 90 degree angle you may or may not gett full stimulation. Luckily this is an exercise that you still grow even if you have a semi bad form.
