Used "butt to heels" as cue.  At top, keep weight on heels and just thinking about sitting down with the butt.  Felt good and strong, great depth, virtually ATG, good speed.  Watching the videos after, it looks like by using this cue, I am unconsciously doing a hip break.  Well, it's working out well.  Need to remember to keep upper back tight and upon concentric, to push the back INTO the bar to keep upper back from rounding and hips rising too fast.
