Also throughout each repetition there is an increasing knee/hip angle in the isometric phase.  Is this common and desirable when performing this?

Maybe it is unavoidable, but the slight movement of the bar to the anterior as you perform the movement during the eccentric portion (much more noticeable on first repetition).  Also you start the first repetition about a bar width behind the following two reps.  I guess my question is how particular should one be when critiquing form for this exercise in regards to bar movement?

Brian, I am not quite sure what you are referring to?

Should the bar be moving a little more vertical for this?
