Can't Hit Depth on Squats

Hi Ladies, some questions for you.

I only started lifting in March this year so I'm a newbie. I was completely inactive before then for about 15 years and have a desk job. Until 2 months ago I've only been doing goblet squats not barbell squats. I can get to the right depth on goblet squats. I've started high bar squatting and I cannot for the life of me hit the right depth! I cannot get to just past parallel. It's frustrating me so much as I feel like none of my reps count.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I can't hit depth? My heels don't lift so I don't think it's my ankles. Is it my hip flexors? Is is just general weakness? Any advice appreciated.

The only way I can get any depth on high bar squats is to have a much wider stance. I feel like I get better depth with low bar although it's still not low enough.

I'm getting annoyed as my deadlifts are strong but my squats are terrible!

I've got some videos on you tube of my form but it won't let me post the links here.



Thanks!
