    RDL looks weird, but your lower back is flat.. Are you focusing on pushing your hips back and hinging?

    FS looks good, you have longer legs so it is harder to stay more vertical, compared to somebody with short femurs, The bar looks like it remains over your mid-foot so don't change anything. I want to redact this a tad. Force your elbows higher. You are dropping them as you descend.

    I don't go to the gym anymore so above stats are useless.

    Only do weighted calastentics in the comfort of my own home!

    FS-you might try using a shoe with heels or a block under the heels.

    RDL looks good.
    The primary focus should be glutes and hamstrings with a good hip hinge.
    Are you feeling them there?

    Yeah, I have been focusing on pushing my hips out. For the front squat, do my arms need to be parallel with the floor? Also, would a two finger grip help with keeping the elbows up?

    Elbows could be a tad higher but not bad. I can't offer any help with that because i do cross arm grip.

    RDL looks ok too

    Could be your shoes but looks like you are on your forefoot too much. Try and keep weight on your heels or mid foot.

    2 finger grip would solve that issue, but I feel safer with full grip. Test it out.
