    Default Squat/DL form check

    Used some light weights to focus on the parts of my form that are consistent no matter what weight.

    I have some asymmetry and issues with tightness in front/on the side of where my quad meets my hip.

    Will post another video of squat at higher weight because I generally have more issues with doing a good-morning squat at higher weight.

    Deadlift - narrow your stance. Don't move your feet, the bar is too far forward. Watch and follow the 5 step deadlift video.

    Squat - the bar is high. Slow down and get tighter.

    Thanks. Watched that deadlift video and it helped immensely. My 5RM felt like a breeze with almost no lower back pain/soreness afterwards.

    Regarding the squat, what could be causing my hip/quad tightness near the bottom of the squat? And should I have butt wink like I do in my video?

    Probably because the bar is too high and you're too loose.
