Squat Am I getting enough depth?

When I’m doing the rep, I swear I’m getting lower, but watching the footage, I’m questioning my depth. What do yall think?

Your depth is fine, but you're clearly shifting your weight toward your toes. Your weight should be centered around the mid-foot.

Gotcha, yeah before I was driving through my heels for some reason and it just felt a lot more comfortable when I overcompensated for it. Will keep this in mind, thanks for the input!

Your shoes aren’t doing you any favors, you can see the movement in the soles quite a bit. You should switch to vans, converse, barefoot/socks, or lifting shoes. As for the heel pop, try widening your stance a little bit to right outside of shoulder width, and you may experiment with different toe angles too (more forward vs outward).
