Deadlift and squat form check please

- Deadlifts
- Squats

How's it looking bras? Just reset deadlifts due to lower back rounding and wanna know if this form is alright.
Also think my squat is looking better, but wanted some opinions?
Cheers

I thought they both looked good. Definitely above average. On your deadlifts I think you could keep the barbell closer to your shins/body. During squats you arch your back quite a bit. Keeping your abs and glutes tight may help reduce this, which may save your lower back a little pain. Also, I think you may benefit from going down a little slower during squats.

But overall, quite good IMO.

Agreed with taxgeek.

Deads- Make sure the bar always starts over your mid-foot. You shouldn't have to let go, stand up and readjust your entire body in between reps. If the bar has moved that far away from you then you should look at keeping slightly more control of the bar on the negative. Lastly, if you can help it, don't try to look up so hard throughout the set, you look like you're straining your neck a fair bit.

Squats- To echo what was said above, slow down a bit and maintain control of your descent, and try not to throw your hips back quite so hard at the beginning of each rep. Other than that I think your depth is perfect.

Thanks guys.
As far as the deadlift goes, it was a very heavy set and I was using hexplates, so they kind of rolled away from me.
What I gather from the squats is to just slow down my decent a bit (throwing back my hips is actually intentional, I initiate with hips to get a better stretch reflex at the bottom from my hams).

Stretch your upper hamstrings, there was a little butt wink on your squats, but overall very good! Also don't forget to squeeze your shoulder blades to pull your shoulder into alignment. This will keep your shoulders in proper position, I couldn't tell if you were or not because of the black shirt. Everything else had already been said!

WTF are you doing taking the bar for a walk on your squats? Keep it in the rack before you knock the sh*t out of someone.

^^^^^this^^ use the rack that's what it's there for

No its very very mild, but any deviation from spinal alignment can cause issues. Just stretch for a couple weeks and it'll probably go away.

OPie doing some strongman yoke training before his supersetting with squats.

hahaha what would happen if you started to fail on the squats? You need to stay with the rack brah! But at least your form is good.

looks good man, prob could use your legs more in the deadlift. use your long arms to your advantage and like they said, don't walk that far with the bar.. and your grip could go out a little more on the squat but if it feels good that way then stick with it. good base though man keep it lifting !

I like being able to see my stance in the mirror, so that I dont go too wide

Got negged hard for giving bad creatine advice (I said you need a loading phase, which apparently you dont).

I have, I make dents in the floor (I just drop the weight backwards if I get stuck in the whole, no biggie).
Srs
Might be dangerous when I start moving serious weight tho, but the rack doesnt have safety pins or anything anyway, so its the same scenario

Doing hamstring mobility work 3 times a week trying to fix it.
Narrow grip seems to set my upper back nicely, but it did hurt my elbow a little last time I did. Will change if it prevails.
Also guys, is my rest between reps on the deadlift too much?
