Analyzing a form check

I’d like to get a form check but also would like learn more about analyzing my own videos so I can better correct my form on the spot. Now with this set I can see a few things that I am doing wrong here. It looks like I am coming a little too forward on my feet and my heels lift up ever slightly. I also have trouble getting my wrists straight under the bar now matter where I hold it. I have my pinky’s on the inner knurl rings here and this is about as tight as I can get the bar on my back. The bar feels very stable here but it’s starting to give me elbow tendinitis. Another concern here is that I feel I might be pushing my knees out too wide. It’s hard to tell from this side view but I maybe doing that. There are probably other things wrong here and I’m sure you guys will tell me. This is not a lot of weight compared to most people in this program but it is a heavy working set for me. Squats are by far my worst lift and I’ve struggled to get them right for years. I progress fairly well with other lifts but am constantly having to take a step back with squats to work on form. When I do finally get it right all it takes is one inconsistent week where I miss a workout or two and totally forget what I did to get it right. Now I’ve read to keep on going even my form is off and that it’s better to get the lifts in than to get dropping the weight, so that is what I am doing now. It’s just starting to look sloppy as hell. Here we go.

Knees out or forward

In regards to the knees out cue in the squat, does that mean to push knees out laterally or forward, tracking the outward angle of the feet?
