Your squat needs a lot of work.
1) Your eyes are up, looking forward. Look down.
2) Judging by your knee trajectory, your toes are probably not turned out enough (though I can't see this for sure in the frame).
3) Your knees are traveling forward WAY too far, and not "out" enough.
4) You also have significant knee slide at the bottom of your reps.
5) Some of your reps were of questionable depth.

Deadlift actually doesn't look too bad. I can't tell from the angle of the video but your stance might need some tweaking. Shoulder width or slightly less, toes turned out about 10 degrees, and knees pushed out into your elbows when you take your grip.

Thanks man. I will work on those things. I feel them happening more at higher intensity day weight than at volume day weight. I will film volume day to compare. I have also had a bit of hip pain which goes away if I narrow my stance a bit, which I did in this video and probably throws everything out a bit.

I have been working on the head down thing, but I keep finding myself doing it.

Think I will focus on widening stance abit and feet pointing out more and focus on knees.

#2 & #3 may fix this...but your knees look to be caving inward also

Thanks, yeah i am concious that it happens, again mainly on intensity day. Maybe nerves, or weight is too heavy. Here is another video from a few months back. Knees don't seem to cave inward. How is this one?

I guess I should of said,"appears" to move inward.
Both videos are side view, so hard to tell exactly.
The older vid, you stance looks wider and toes out more . . . maybe its just the different angles.
The more current one stance looks narrower, and knee look to move in a bit right after you change direction (move up).
