    Default Squat, press check

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on my squat and press from TM Intensity day.

    Here is my press at 137.5x5:

    It gets messy at the end and I should've pressed outside of the rack. I know maximal sets won't be perfect, so is this acceptable, or does something need correction?

    Here's my squat, which was supposed to be 315x3:

    I think the first rep looks passable, although I could've stayed tighter on the descent. On the 2nd rep the bar rolls forward as I'm coming up. On the third rep the bar rolls forward again and kills it. This issue has been popping up lately on my heavy squat sets. I don't see my knees moving forward at the bottom -- do you think it's because I'm letting my chest drop? Could it be a grip issue?
