couldnt help but notice the browski next to you, even though we dont see his body, you can tell he wasnt doing full squat. lol

you're looking fine

Since you have low bf, by sight I can tell that your hamstrings arent firing properly and arent really active at the bottom. This is why you have buttwink. You can see how biceps femoris is working in the video.

I had the same issue once, which is why I was quick to think this. Really think about kind of "hamstring curling" yourself into the hole/bottom of the squat. Look at a pic of hamstring anatomy and when youre squatting try to feel it tense and flexing from its origin to insertion throughout the entirety of the movement use your hands and feel them while youre warming up or at home.

Id also do some smr/foam rolling. I use a lax ball and wooden rolling pin and sit on my dresser and do it. I can get at it the best that way instead of on the floor. Roll along its entirety and stop at different spots doing flexion and extension at the knee.
