For the press, it may just be me, but you seem to have a very pronounced arch in your back when the bar is at the bottom. Then, when you initiate the move to compensate for the arch you rebound your hips back and then forward, versus staying upright, squeezing the glutes and abs to stay tight, and simply popping the hips forward to initiate the lift. You also seem to drive your head under the bar versus driving the chest. I feel like this may cause neck pain in the long run. Focus on staying more upright, keeping EVERYTHING tight, thrust the wall with your hips and explode under the bar driving the chest forward.
For the squat, the only thing I can see if that you have a little bit of knee slide on the bottom. Cue to fix this: KNEES OUT, DRIVE UP WITH THE HIPS! Knees out the entire time. Stay tight, don't relax.
Lastly, your deadlift you are rolling the bar around a lot and rounding your lower back. Walk up to the bar to where it covers your shoe laces, bend over to where the bar just touches your shins. Look forward about 12 inches in front of you at a spot on the ground, take a big breath and then SQUEEZE the chest up to get the slack out of the bar and explode. Drag the bar up your legs. Set the bar back down. Cue for remaining reps: shins, spot on ground, big breath, squeeze chest up, explode.
Hope this helps!

Good Squire, Thank you. I will read this again during my next workout. I appreciate the quick response.

I just looked at the squat.
(1) Your back is too vertical. Tits to the floor, drive with the hips.
(2) Your knees are sliding forward the entire rep. Get them planted in the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the descent...you'll get a better rebound that way, and you'll avoid the knees shooting forward problem that you have.
(3) Your knees may not be far enough out, but I'm having a hard time telling with the angle.
