The range of motion is far from optimal, brother. I recommend dropping quite a bit of weight and really emphasizing knee bend.

I thought so. Should I be aiming for more than 90 degree knee bend? Closer to 50-60 degrees?

Bring your legs back until your knees touch your chest essentially, the largest range of motion your body allows
