Watched you OH squats again, Pity, to see if I could see something that might be aggravating your knees (as mentioned in pm's). Definitely that's a wide stance for OH squats. I failed to notice that you are putting your heels on plates. Stop doing that. Narrow your stance.

You are actually not keeping your weight on the heels/midfoot. You're coming up onto your toes a bit at the bottom which you probably don't notice because of the plates. Not only do you have the plates under your heels but your heals seem to be coming OFF the plates.

You want to promote that ankle flexility and never, imho, do OH squats with a cructch. The big advantage is the promotion of stability and mobility that you need. Even if you don't seem to get as low don't worry about it.

You should be able to go lower with a more narrow stance but don't change your squatting style and open those hips like you've been doing.

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