This video contains all the working sets of my workout as well as the last warmup set of my deadlift (i've been learning the hook grip but i'm using straps for my working set)

1. Is my depth good enough on the squats?
2. also, I'm having trouble figuring out the transition to phase 2. My deadlifts are starting to feel pretty heavy but how do i know when they are "too heavy to recover from"? do i wait till i start failing reps?
3. also, i'm hoping for some opinions on whether or not i should do power cleans (I have never done them before but i'm confident i could figure out the form) or if i should replace them with chins or rows

Welcome to the forums. Let me help ensure you have a pleasant stay. If you want form feedback you're better off posting one work set of 5 reps for one exercise per post. It's tough to have people wade through a video of multiple sets of multiple movements, even if you separate it the way you did. I don't say this to be a prick, just to help you out.
Only looked at the 3rd set of squats. The squat depth is acceptable, but right at the limit of acceptable. You're not getting leaned over enough so your knees end up traveling too far forward. You don't have to get leaned over that much more because of the way you're built, but more than you are so you can get your ass back away from your feet and keep your knees where they need to be.
Part of your issue with the deadlift may be that your last warmup for 315 is 275x5. Taper the warmup reps so you're not getting smoked and you can still do the workset. Something like 135x5, 185x3, 235x2, 285x1, 315x5.
Happy training.

Hey Pete, thank you so much for your help. Sorry about the over zealous video length, I'll make sure to fix that for future posts. I'll make those changes for my workout on Friday and see how it goes.
