    Looks excellent to my eye.

    The only thing that did strike me as odd is that on all but the first set, you were standing "backwards". Isn't that a safety issue?

    I don't like facing the mirror on heavier sets, I like feeling I'm doing it right vs seeing I'm doing it right, plus people tend to lean forward when they face themselves in the mirror. Still able to dump the bar and run to safety if needed

    Good effort there, nice and clean. I love the squat, you really know when you have worked it!

    Not sure... but your grip may not be the best. I grip Rippetoe style... elbows pulled up, tight... straight wrist. No flexion so that there's no weight taken off the back and put onto the hands. You may be gripping this way but it's hard to tell in the video. Also, you may not prefer that grip anyway... I think some people do it differently.

    Yeah I would have a better wrist but I am still working on my shoulder mobility to get the straight wrist.
