1. You can't determine how far down YOUR ass should be from someone elses angle. Unless your body matches theirs on all points. Starting angle is completely dependant on the individual and their body type. Some videos are good for overall technique but you have to be able to determine your own proper starting angle. A lot of people, btw, try to get too low on the bar as a kind of overcompensation for the opposite extreme which is rising at the hips and turing it into a stiff-legged.

4. Weight definitely shouldn't be on the heels. On squats try concentrating more on driving your shoulders back and up against the bar. Don't think so much about pushing against the floor as that is just the kind of thing that causes the upper back and shoulders to come forward thus forcing the lower back out of it's set. If you can't do the weight without it coming forward onto the toes then maybe lowering the weight would be good but I suspect a shift in your thought process may help.

If your malto/dex seemed real sweet you probably need more water with it.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
