Novice Squat and Deadlift Form Check- Please

[Jeff LC]

FORM CHECK:

Hi, if anyone can please give my latest squats and deadlift a form check, it would be much appreciated!

Squat 185x5: YouTube

Looks to me like I might be focusing too hard on hip drive, leading with the hip out of the hole, that I'm actually not lifting my chest enough, and that I'm somewhat going hips up, THEN chest up after.. what some call a good morning squat? Some reps look better than others. This is 185x5 (the accidentaly 185 set i did yesterday, when it was supposed to be 180, whoops)

Deadlift 235x5: YouTube

Fiance thinks that i am not keeping my chest "up" enough ,perhaps some slouching in upper back. Thoughts?

There are a couple of things we can see from this angle. For starters, these are nowhere close to good morning squats. If anything, you're lifting your chest too early and should be staying in your hips longer. Fixing your eye gaze will help with this. You're looking in the mirror the whole time, raising your gazes even higher on the ascent. Get your eyes fixed on a spot ~5' in front of you and DO NOT LOOK UP. This will help you get bent over and stay there as you drive your hips up out of the hole.

Get us a deadlift video that was taken from the same county, and we'll see what we can do

Thanks. For squat, when I had my one coach session, he kept saying look down. That more than anything seemed to be an issue with my Just impulsively. Really hard when the rack is two feet in front of a mirror.

Anyway, one other thing my fiancé noticed which she always says, and my trainer had to call me out a few times too, is that I’m going a bit too deep, farther below parallel than necessary. At this depth my lower back starts to round a bit, too.

Do you notice me going to deep by any chance?

As for deadlift... yea... I’ll try again tomorrow haha.

Hard to say for sure with the plates blocking the view, but yeah probably. Be easier to see from the rear 3/4 angle.
