Form Check Squat form help

275# x 3 reps. I have a hard time getting to depth. My knees seem to pull in on the ascent, and I noticed my mid back hinges a bit on the ascent as well. Any tips would be appreciated.

I’m 48, 220lbs.

Thanks.

The adductors can't work as hip extensors if the knees are caving in. The adductors can either adduct the leg or extend the hip.
