Do you have chucks? I suggest you try to squat in flat sole shoes. Looks to me like you have an a upper back rounding. The heel comes off the floor when you get out of the hole. I think you need flat shoes.

Also, low-bar squats are not a must, even if you want to compete. Sure, if you plan on being top 10 in the world it's a must...

Try looking just above parallel. Take a big breath, keep the core tight the whole way through, don't relax in the hole.

It also looks like your toes are not pointing the same direction as your knees but it's hard to tell in this angle. Try point your toes forward a little bit more and make sure to push the knees out!

I don't have chucks. Two years ago I was squatting barefoot and it seems that I didn't have back rounding.It is something that I will have in mind. Right know I am focusing on stretching hamstrings, calves and the ankle.

Also, low-bar squats are not a must, even if you want to compete. Sure, if you plan on being top 10 in the world it's a must...

Good to know. At the moment my short term goal is to squat my bodyweight for 1-3 reps with good form. Which is pathetic after two years...

Try looking just above parallel. Take a big breath, keep the core tight the whole way through, don't relax in the hole.

It also looks like your toes are not pointing the same direction as your knees but it's hard to tell in this angle. Try point your toes forward a little bit more and make sure to push the knees out!

Thanks for the suggestions. I think that sometimes I lose focus and relax when squatting. But I don't think that my knees are caving inwards.

Notes:

In between my squat sets I was stretching my ankles. I don't know if this made a difference but my working sets looked better. Nothing to complain about this time. SOHP and deadlift were ok.

After a month of training in 2015 a little summerize:

• I increased the volume for the squats and SOHP. I believe this is neccesary because I need stronger and bigger quads to minimize muscle imbalances. For SOHP I need more pressing becuase linear progression isn not possible anymore.
  
• I however noticed that various bodyparts are bothering me. Specifically my left glute(dafuq??), right hip-flexor and right lat. I don't know if this has to do with my work, lack of sleep, increase of my training or a combination of them. Or I just getting older. It sucks how to adress this without stoping alltogether.
  
• On the other hand, back pain equals to zero.

Notes:
Overal good training. But as usual with the same problem. My heel raised again of the ground and as a result I failed my first set. Second and third were better. After waching a video with omar isuf and silent mike and for the fuck of it I gave Sumo deadlift a try. Felt ackward and was difficult at the bottom but easy on the top. Will have it as an option for the second half of the year.

Good overall training session. Did some adjustments for my squats. I used a wider grip than usual. The reps felt smoother and I had the impresion that I had more reps in the tank. Continue to work on my sumo stance for the deadlift. Tried a little heavier. Form seems fine but 100kg isn't alot.

Notes:
Couldn't train during the week because I had a late shift. Trained today. Didn't feel that it would be a good training session because from the warm up I felt tired. I was wrong. Took little more time to rest between my sets. Was able to squat 97,5kg for two singles. This means that I was able for the first time to squat a little above my bodyweight(96kg).

SOHP were ok. Deadlifts were also fine except the first working set. I noticed a little knee pain from my right knee. I have no idea why this happened. Second working set was without pain. Wanted to do more assistance but stopped after the second set. Was tired and without energy.

Notes:
Was tired when i went for my training. Squats felt heavy. On the first working set I did one rep and stopped there because I thought that my depth was questionable. Watching the video on my phone I realized that it was a mistake. I squatted below parallel. Second set was good. In the third set the first two reps were grinders. Third rep was clearly a half squat so I stopped there.

SOHP were ok. The clean pulls were also good even after a two week pause.

Wasn't my day. It probably would have been better if stayed at home this day. Back and shoulder were bothering me during the day which affected my training. First working set for the squat was a grinder, in the second I had to drop the weight and the third was not to depth. As for the deadlift, after my warm-up sets I dicaded to do some heavy-ish singles against of two sets of five. And to my surprise bar speed was good i all of them.
