I've been watching some powerlifting videos to further my quest in attaining the perfect squat form. From what I can see, they don't actually sit back; they put their hips out back and then sit down. I'm saying, the form I see on the videos isn't as close to the "textbook" form that I have read descriptions of many times over. Here are some examples:

Now, Oan Basson has is fairly close to sitting back, but he still sits down a little bit too. Am I simply overthinking the process of sitting back? Is it just a comment meant to ensure full usage of the hips, and you aren't supposed to purely sit back?
