Breaking at the knees is incorrect. Hips should go back first . You want your hip muscles to engage before your quads to reduce quad dominance. Also promotes stability in the squat as it will keep the bar on the back half of your foot & help keep your lumbar curve stable
It really shouldn't be a complete vertical up and down movement. You're going down and back like you are preparing to sit on a toilet.

I do not agree. Sitting back first is the cue for geared lifts. Breaking knees first puts your back in a more stable position and keeps your knees tracking over your feet. It's ideal to do them simultaneous but my cue is to break my knees first and my hip is immediately after.
Also depends on bar position. High bar and mid bar is different than low bar. I always get into a good morning position with hips breaking first.
You also want weight on midfoot not the heels.

I break at the knees first. It's just easier with my mobility.
