Well I'm glad you're getting the glutes into into it more but did you notice that your back is rounding out more now? Pretty much you begin losing your arch before you even break parallel and it's you barely break parallel and it's gone. The point of the glute thing was an exercise to do without weight to learn recruitment of the glutes WHILE working on getting deeper without losing the arch. It was all tied together. I'm not sure if you did the exercise as I described or if you tried to take on the ideas with actual heavy squats. If you did the latter that's bound to make things worse.

The reason I wonder this is because your squats seem like they may be higher instead of a bit lower and your back rounding problem is worse. So the only result seems to be your glutes being sore and you perceptions of the lifts. Also if you didn't work on flexibility and the hams are tight the problem is bound to percist.

Also you have to work on flexibility of the hams as that is a lot of the problem. This back rounding problem may not cause injury. MAY not. But it will cause you to eventually miss lifts and have a major stall until it is corrected. It looks as if you are being pulled out of your arch pretty much as soon as you begin to descend. The descent may be a little fast so your going to end up exerting more effort trying to decelerate it and descending too quickly is another cause of this. Try doing it in slow motion.

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