Yeah you should be able to move your body up and down slightly in the hole just by flexing your glutes. Its weird because you dont have to use your legs, its just the result of the pressure that lifts you up a few inches. Took me a long while to figure out what it meant to use your glutes and hips in squatting but thats what it is. The difference is like night and day. If I dont do it, 315 feels like a ton, but when Im consistent with it, the bar pops up easily.
One thing I notice is that when I go too deep, the lower back begins to round. When that happens, my glute activation is compromised. So if I were you Id make sure Id go down until the saccrum begins to round. Youll still be flexed at this point and be in a better position to feel what I described above.
