    Default Squat, press, and deadlift check

    This is my third squat check, second press check, and first deadlift check. This is my first post in the coaches section, and I have no idea if it's appropriate for me to post three different exercise form checks in the same post.

    Here is the link to my last squat check:

    Here is the link to my last press check:
    Squat and press form check

    Squats:275x5

    This was the first time using my tripod and I made it a little straighter after I finished squatting.
    I'm not sure if I'm going deep enough. However, this was the first time I felt like I bounced back up from the hamstring reflex. My first squat check feedback noted that my stance was incorrect and prevented proper hip drive from the squat reflex, so this was my second time squatting after that feedback.
    I have a Rogue 2.0 bar that's smooth in the middle, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing the bar to slide down my back, but it's an issue every time I squat.

    On the last two reps, it felt like I didn't get good bounce from moving the hips forward and back (I have no idea if I'm describing that correctly). I don't know if I brought the bar up too early or if it was something else. On my first press check, I was informed that I was doing a strict press, so this is my first time attempting to fix that issue.

    Deadlift:305x5

    I don't think my back was straight enough and that my hips might have been too low.
    This is my first time using the 2.5" Best Belt, so I'm not sure if it's in the proper place.

    Thank you for your feedback!

    So should I repost this as three separate posts?
