    Your squat video is the only one that would play for me. You need more hip drive. To get it, lean your torso over immediately as you start your descent, so that you can set your back angle sooner in the rep. Then, coming out of the bottom, drive your hips straight up towards the ceiling. Also, while you seem to be making an effort at getting a good big breath before each rep, I just see your mouth moving; I don't see your belly moving. Get a good belly breath,use your diaphragm to breath. This will help you brace your abs/torso musculature better than you currently are.

    Please read the stickies on form checks, as this is a less than ideal angle for us to provide you with quality feedback. Also, please edit your videos, we don't need to watch 40 seconds of you standing at the bar before unracking. Thanks.

    Edit: Also, the bar is too low on your back. Search this site for an article/video on proper bar placement.

    Deadlift looks fine from what we can see.

    OHP is OK. You need to be much more violent with your hips to benefit from using 2.0 technique.

    The weights on all of your lifts look very light for you.

    An inch or so too deep. Also, you are holding your knees back on the initial descent. Watch how your knees barley move forward as you shove your hips back and lean over, then they move forward while you are in the bottom half of the descent. Instead, you need to push your knees forward in the first half of the descent, then set them in place over your toes for the bottom half of the descent and 1st half of the ascent. Keep doing what you are doing with your hips and leaning over, just add in consciously pushing your knees forward at the same time you start pushing your hips back. Then drive your hips straight up.

    Nitpicking:
    Don't bend your knees on the deadlift descent until the bar goes past. The bar is going around the knees and shoving the bar out of position for subsequent reps.

    Press: shove your hips forward harder and tighten *everything*. You want nothing loose from the floor to the bar...
