    Hi coach
    Could you please give me some insight with form?

    Squat:

    What i can see is my lower back is rounding at the bottom i think it may be due to going to low? Does everything else look ok?

    Press1:

    Having trouble findinging grip. First set is a wider grip with straight wrists. Is this right?
    Or is this second vid better wrist and position
    Press 2:

    Besides slow racking elbows does the start position look good? Been having a bit of trouble getting in a good starting position.

    thanx Rip

    Your low back is not rounding an appreciable amount in this squat. Looks pretty good, actually. A bit light, perhaps. Your cutting off your ROM on the 2nd-5th reps, and you need to stare at the wall to stabilize your gaze direction. I can't tell anything about your grip. The cleans looked light too, and that perhaps you were looking straight down instead of forward.

    Thanx coach!
    Yes the weights are still light as i was unsure about form but i guess its all good and ill go up!

    I take it the clean starting position was acceptable apart from looking down? (Just want to make sure as its the thing that i have had trouble with for a long time)

    Also regarding the ROM i believe you were talking about presses?

    Thankyou so much for your time Rip

    But next time, make up your fucking mind about which user name you're on.
