    Squat:

    I posted previous Squat form check several weeks ago in this thread:
    Squat Form Check

    Now my LP Squats are 17,5 kg heavier, and it has gotten really challenging. I feel like technique is worse.
    Here is my 3rd set of 5 reps @ 120 kg (264 lbs).

    Power Clean:
    I know my form is crappy. Each rep feels different. but what should be my focus points?
    Here is my 5th set of 3 reps @ 65 kg (143 lbs).

    Thank you for helping me become stronger!

    Hi,

    Re: Power Clean.

    I think you are a bit hasty on your pull, and you might have the bar a tad too close to your shins, although it's hard to say with the loose pants. What is really noticeable is that when you rack the bar, you have your hips directly under, if not slightly forward, of the bar.
    This forces you to assume an unstable position, with knees shooting forward and the torso effectively leaning back a bit.

    The position when racking should be more similar to a front squat.

    Hope this helps.

    POWER CLEAN:
    You lower your hips too much at the start, and you push the bar forward.
    And what IPB said
