    The hip thrust before each rep looks a bit odd to me. What is your reasoning for doing that?

    Looks like you could do with shoving your knees out wider too, and keeping them wide on the ascent.

    Whatever you looked up clearly didn't help. You're still not "getting" the hip drive concept. Did you watch the video of Mark Rippetoe teaching a kid how to use hip drive that I linked you to above?...

    You're overthinking it. Your basic mechanics are fine. You just need to be more confident. Get some mongrel into ya and power the weight back up. You're going too slow on the way down too, which is...

    Yeah, still no hip drive. Have you got the book? It's all explained in meticulous detail in there. The kindle version is cheap :-)

    That sounds right to me re: deadlift.

    I'm pretty sure I've read on Rip's forum that the best thing for strengthening and protecting your rotator cuff is to overhead press. Definitely do dips,...

    Also you're doing something weird at the top of the pull, arching your back or something. Just stand up straight.

    Back looks heaps better, good control. Briks42 is right about the neck craning. Your neck is better when you start the pull, but once the bar leaves the floor you crank your head back. Maybe it would...

    Are we watching the same videos? Knees look solid to me. Maybe slight deviations on the heavier set. Nothing to fret about.

    Your stance is too wide, bring your heels directly underneath your shoulders. And don't pause at the bottom.

    Is the pain in your forearms another squatting tendonitis symptom? If so, you should do chin ups rather than pull ups. They will hurt, but you'll be amazed at how much better you feel afterwards :-)...
