    Squatting deep is good, but you're going too low this time around, just break parallel. Other than that, it hould be good.
    Deadlift is another story. Go here:

    Read carefully, and watch the form carefully as many times as you can find time for. You don't want to lift with your back nearly horizontal.

    Your set up for squats is far far too relaxed. You need to approach the bar like there is 500lbs awaiting you. You just bring it out like it doesnt even matter. Your wrists are bend, your back isnt set, you dont seem like you are squeexing your abs.
    It looks like low bar right? You are going unnecessarily deep. Just below parallel is fulldepth for low bar squats. Because of the excessive depth your knees move forward as the bottom and the weight seems like it is shifting forward over your toes.

    Your other squat was high and too heavy, this is the opposite.

    I will go a little higher next time. I was trying to get as low as possible.

    King Neptune. I was following Ripptoes advice on the deadlift but I can now see I din't put my but down far enough.

    Also I know I'm probably getting on your guys nerves by now but could I upload 1 more form check for the squat, deadlift, and row just to make sure I got them down.

    You dont need to squat that deep though, thats what we're trying to say. Leave ATG for high bar.

    Its your thread, post as many videos as you like.

    With your squat video, I'd suggest narrowing your stance a little bit... Try shoulder width. It looks like you are very wide and have your toes pointed out at quite a large angle but don't yet have the flexibility to pull it off yet, this could also be what is causing your balance to come away from your heels.

    I also noticed that your knees are moving forwards at the bottom of the squat when your try to get the extra depth, this is you not keeping your hamstrings tight.

    Throughout the whole squat, focus on pushing your knees out.

    Thanks for your advice, I use a wide stance because it feels better and I find it allows me to use hip drive better.

    Still doesn't look like you're locking out. Bar looks to be coming down on your upper stomach, should be at nipple level. This is just a personal opinion but don't hold your breath. I inhale down, exhale up.

    On lifts like these most professional power lifters and strength athletes advice you to hold your breath. Also I am definatley locked out. I don't know if its the angel but I straightened my arms as far as they go.
