    These are all too heavy for you. There would be lots of things to say about each video, but really, just lower the weight, a lot, and try to get a full range of motion and a clean lift. Your bent-over rows are done in a dangerous manner, keep a mall arch in your lower back.

    I will lower the weight but I want to know exactly what I have to do to fix my form. if you guys could tell me exactly whats off in each that would be greatly appreciated. Also on my bench I am only an inch from my chest I do this to stop myself from bouncing the weight I could go all the way down.

    x2

    Your squat is high and your knees move way forward at the "bottom", your back isnt arched during rows and your bench is shaky. Thats about the extend of advice im capable of giving on form.
    Plus, the camera is a little close. It would be better to film your entire body, specificially for squats so we can see your foot position and such.

    On my bench I am tight and everythting is flexed but my feet barely touch the floor because the bench is high. Any idea on how to get a better footing.

    Blocks under your feet would be the obvious solution.

    Post another video of your bench from a bit farther back so we can see your entire body and lower the weight. Your benching with no spotter, that means you shouldn't be struggling to push 5 reps. Use a weight you can handle for at least 6 easy reps. This is a form video and the best way to improve form is to start light.

    I started with an empty bar and my form was decent and I had the football coach who is fairly knowledgeable check it but as the weights getting heavier I'm loosing my form. Also I could roll the bar off on the bench witch I have practiced doing with 160lbs.

    It's good that you know how to do it but you shouldn't get yourself into a situation that you have to.

    I'm doing a linear progress program and I'm starting to stall on the bench. I hear what your sayin and when I do start to fall I will deload the bar and work back up which I've done before.

    bench.  here, the bar should be moving up and down in a straight line.  you're performing it by rowing - play the video and you'll see what i mean, because the bar is wiggling hehe.

    tips

    feet on the floor - and tense your ass. the sides of your feet will serve as something that will tighten your lower body; so you won't be moving a lot.

    stomach tight like someone's about to punch your gut.

    grip the bar strong for a few seconds before taking it out - try to pull it apart - this will engage your triceps and lats.  Cheesy

    think you're one tight muscle.  Cheesy

    Id like to throw in one thing. You arent locking your bench out. Lock the rep out at the top before descending again. Looks like all your reps are incomplete.
