whats with the semi shoulder press type thing at the end of each one? and it seems he starts at 90 and then as he does more sets he drops way below 90, not sure if thats supposed to be on purpose or not. Also he seems to be leaning too far forward on his way up, once he gets to heavier weights all these things will be more obvious

I like the depth on the squats but does he really need to do that little press thing at the top?  Seems like a lot of extra stress on the spine

Nix? (English is not my first language).
The bounce of the bar at the top is unsafe…? Why?

I have seen video of Georgi Asanidze do this, albeit with a very low % of his max squat. He was trained by Ivane Grikurovi, one of the best Oly lift coaches ever so it is probably useful at times.
