I need to get some vids up so I can have my form judged because I feel like I judge too much. -.-
On your bench press, the only thing I'd be wary of is leg drive as you have none, so you're losing quite a bit of power.
On your deadlift, you're breaking at the knees to early on the way down. Eric Cressey recommends waiting until the bar is past your knees then break. Also, don't move your head so much. Neck position has a lot to do with the rest of the spine.
I don't know if you've ever read it but you should read Eric Cressey's Mastering the Deadlift series. It's amazing. Tony Gentilcore's Much Ado About Deadlifting is a great article, too, and mentions neck position, something a lot of people don't talk about.“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”

I would lower the weight and practice form. Deadlifts look better.

Anyone feel like explaining what head position they use squatting and why?
I have always followed Mark Rippetoe for squat and his rec is to keep head in a neutral position, but I notice elitefts and other seem to have folks looking up.What's Spicy Training For?? LIFE MOTHER F-ER!

Looking at the ground 10 feet in front of me. I squat with a low bar and do it because Rippetoe told me too . Actually, I do it because it is more comfortable since my chest is not raised as high as those who do high bar squats and so I make sure and use proper hip drive. The main thing I focus on is to keep my back from rounding.

I use a packed neck position which has been popularized by Charlie Weingroff. Rippetoe does note that having a neck up loses hip drive and I tend to agree. It's also not good for the spine as you're extending your cervical spine. You wouldn't do that with your thoracic or lumbar, so I feel that the logic also applies for the cervical spine. If you want to read more then check this out (I've done all this before so I apologize to other NutMiscers): http://charlieweingroff.com/2010/11/...g-in-the-neck/
Here's Tony Gentilcore with a packed neck (notice how he forces a double chin? That's a packed neck essentially):
In this article (http://robertsontrainingsystems.com/...-neutral-neck/), Mike Robertson shows how Ed Coan and Brad Gillingham squatting with a neutral neck and he talks about a neutral neck.
If you read the first article by Charlie I linked then he talks about why people look up.
Cliff:
- I use a reinforced neutral neck position
- This is because the neck also links to other places in the spine“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”
