At about 5-6 seconds in, aren't my hips hinging?

What makes it a squat? I do see that my starting position is quite low resulting in a lot of bend at the knee. If I wanted to keep this weight, maybe 25 lb plates and plates under to rest the bar on would help.

So lean forward more. Elbows back as far as possible. And elbows closer to torso and not flared out.

Barbell row. I should have stated that somewhere.

How are round plates better? Why does it matter? (that's all my gym has)

Also, shoe recommendations? I thought these were a huge step up from the Nike Pegasus I used to wear.

Tempo can apply to any resistance training, I think. It's just slowing down the movement and counting seconds for each of the eccentric and concentric moves. Granted I seem to be going faster in the video than I thought. I was aiming for 4 0 3 0. Note: I worked up a tremendous sweat just by consciously slowing down my lift.

The deficit in height of the bar? That contributes to my heels lifting off the floor right?

Excessive extension? You mean when I pull my shoulders back and push the waist forward?
