    squat: watch this vid and compare with your wrist angle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2tyOLvArw0

    Dead: It is hard to tell from the video angle, but the bar should remain in contact with the legs all the way up and down.

    About wrist angle, my should flexibility is not good, if I keep wrist and forearm straight, I can't hold the bar.

    On your squat, have you incorporated the feedback you've gotten here... http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=49070

    and here... http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=48966 ??

    Your squat is still high bar, leading with the chest. Nothing wrong with that, but you said previously you're trying to do low bar, and you're still not. Your shoulders look plenty flexible. Widen the grip, put the bar lower, point your toes out, track the knees over the toes, sit back, lean over, and drive from the hips.

    Your deadlift set up is still wrong. Read this again... http://startingstrength.com/resource...468#post182468

    On the bench, it looks like you're breathing in on the way down. If you are, take your breath at the top and hold it.

    My today’s squat.

    Still looks like high, I widen my grip this time, bar is lower, toes are out, I’m trying to sit back, I think I didn’t lean over, I’m trying to drive from the hip.

    deadlift:

    How about my set up this time. Then I was trying to do RDL, I think the issue here is knees bend too much.

    your wrists look bent on the squat? they should be straight.

    it also looks like you are looking directly straight ahead.
