Formed looked okay but they are all pretty high.

Everything looks fine.

The only minor thing I saw was your upper back was a bit rounded due to your high bar position. If you put the bar a little lower on your shoulders that should correct itself.

I'm no pro and I can't really tell from the angle , but are you flaring out your knees when you squat? Depth looked parallel on the 315 vid.

Like Mac said put the bar lower on your back, and try to get your elbows more under the bar instead of flaring them back. Other than that for looked solid.

Thank for the advice guys I appreciate it, next time I Squat I'll make sure to remember to set the bar a little lower on my back, and post a vid up.
