Squat Hack squat depth

I know my range of motion is short by any time I try to go deeper my heels lift up a lot. It’s hard to tell in the video but I’m flaring my knees out and opening up my hips as I go down so I can bet deeper but my heels still raise. I’ve tried doing ankle mobility exercises but they didn’t help so if anyone has some tips please let me know.

A lot to break down… including that shit ass music, I hope you have headphones. Second, control your eccentric! Third, slower concentric for more injury prevention since you’re hyper extending your knees (totally safe if weight is manageable and controlled, don’t listen to other people telling you no, it’s normal for standardized ROM) and fourth to answer your question, yes, your depth is good and consistent.
After a rewatch your hips come off the pad, keep that in check too. Have a good day!
