issues:
1) trying to finding the foot position when squatting has drove me mad! i keep over thinking if my heels are exactly at shoulder width and are my toes pointed out enough?

2) slight right knee pain that goes away after squatting so its not a big deal.

3)when using the "dick between knees" cue should i hold on to the lower back with everything i got or just a slight hold towards the bottom?

4)every time i squat 50% of the time i don't feel my hamstrings in the movement i hoping that i exaggerated the feeling of the "bounce"

5)I barely feel my chest working in bench press i know i shouldn't chase after the pump but i should feel sore at least

6) in the book the bar is over mid foot when the bar is a inch from to shins usually i see people have some space to press their shin to the bar for me it feel like its already there am i too close to the bar?

7) I never feel the hamstrings when dead lifting just my lower back I end up aching the next day but it goes away on the next workout day am i doing something wrong?

8)is it normal my joy for the dead lift turns in hatred as it get heavier or i just being a pussy?

Thank you for your help and consideration and putting up with my bad grammar

Sorry i meant deadlift not press in the title

Some thoughts:

Squat:
Have your videographer take a step back and also kneel down. For angle 3 straight from the back is better than from the front.

1) The biggest thing based on what i'm seeing is that you're not going down near far enough. I think you're a good 4" high. (but a better angle may show otherwise).

2) You're also letting your knees come in too soon. Knees out!

3) I think your stance MAY be too wide. Maybe. Wuld be good to see it from the back.

4) Straighten out your wrists to avoid problems later on.


Bench:
looks generally alright to me
1) When you unrack lock out your elbows before you bring the bar out. On the 1st set can't see the unrack, but on the 2nd you bring it out w/ bent elbows. That's dangerous

2) Now that i look at it again... i'm not sure you're locking out each rep (but some people's elbows go farther than others so...) Are you locking out?

3) You've got some side to side movement. Go a little slower both down and up and push up evenly. It doesn't have to be quite as explosive yet. That weight looks light for you (don't worry just stay with the program and it'll get heavy real soon). That may be why you're not feeling it much also (although there's no need for soreness as an indication of progress. The progress is that the weight on the bar increases every time).

4) a side view would also be helpful.

DL:
These look pretty good too, but:

1) Your mid back and upper back are in good extension, but your low back isn't. So bring your chest up even more and let that tension put your low back in extension. Also helps to actively use your lats to pull the bar back into your shins when you set-up. This is probably why you're feeling it in your back... because you're not setting up in extension.

2) You can put it down faster. (putting it down slowly, esp. when the back is not in extension is another reason you're feeling it in your back)

3) Again w/ the elbows. Make sure they're straight when you set-up. You don't want the weight of the bar to straighten your arms when you start the pull.

and yes... i'd say it's pretty normal to hate DLs when they get heavy. Oh and i can only see your set-up from the side on your warm-up set, and you could probably start with the bar a little farther away (which would result in slightly more bent knees), but this looks good as is too. You have long legs so you're going to end up with a pretty horizontal back... (i think there's a picture of a long leg guy in the book) it's just the way it is.

First of all thank you for your help i would have replied earlier but i wanted to provide more angles but due to my filmimg prop been moved during set or being too close this is all i can provide for now:

New issues:
1) I cant hold in a deep breath under the bar squatting with a shallow valsalva I feel my lower back safety is at risk.

2) I was hoping you would answer this before but should i extend my lumbar during the squat tightly or slightly as i descend to the bottom?

3)During squatting i felted a massive back ache i had to take 8 min rest for the day and felt like wanted to call it a stalled workout (I extended my lumbar tightly for that day)

4)please is there some way to have a perfect squat stance every time?

again thank you hopefully tomorrow i will provide a behind squat angle, press video and a fixed dead lift.

Those look pretty good depth wise and overall.

1) however, use more hip drive. You're leading with your chest a little.

2) related to above keep your gaze fixed at a downward angle of 30 degrees or something. Just pick a spot 10 feet in front of you and look at it. Or if there's a wall, there look at a spot on the wall maybe 1 foot or 2 feet up from the floor.

BP looks alright i think.

Practice! The breath doesn't have to be TOO deep.

2) I was hoping you would answer this before but should i extend my lumbar during the squat tightly or slightly as i descend to the bottom?

Not sure what you mean. The overall goal is that the shape of your back bone should not change during the motion. All the lean should come from the hips and the ideal position is "a neutral spine". Your back extension looked good from what i saw so you don't need to force more extension. Put your back in extension, and then use all abs to lock in that position.

3)During squatting i felted a massive back ache i had to take 8 min rest for the day and felt like wanted to call it a stalled workout (I extended my lumbar tightly for that day)

as above the focus should be not just on forcing extension, but keeping the back locked in position. Also, how much weight are you doing for DL and how much for squat. If you continue to have problems like this (and i should say this is not the official SS position, just an opinion of a random guy on the forum) it may be worthwhile to pause your squat progression for a little while to let the DL get well out ahead of your squat weight.

4)please is there some way to have a perfect squat stance every time?

I don't know of one. Just go with shoulder width and practice.

again thank you hopefully tomorrow i will provide a behind squat angle, press video and a fixed dead lift.

you're welcome.
