    Yo Raymond, can you get a hold of some squat shoes; they make a huge difference. The stability of a pair of squat shoes holds your feet in place in the shoe; Due to the metatarsal strap binding your feet to the soles of the shoe.

    The squat the bar seems to roll a bit and, your upper back not tight enough. Just keep your chest up, pin your elbows together and reach back more in the hips. Also, brace harder.

    The Squat - Upper Back Position with Jayson Ball - YouTube

    The same thing on the press elbows up and chest up hard! Try to learn the hip bounce at the start.

    Learn to Use Your Hips in the Press with Grant Broggi - YouTube (My fatass is in this video.)

    Keep using a belt; it has good proprioceptive feedback giving you a sense of how hard you're bracing.

    I'm not an SSC. I'm just a guy who lifts a little.
    Probably post on the form check forum to get better feedback to fix these minor deviations.
    Keep up the good work!

    thx for the tips, brent!
    I got a pair of used adidas powerlift 3 and it sure make tons of difference, curse the chuck. :-)

    during squats, the bar is often slipping! that's so true! and the sillyi watched the video and will definately try them tips on my next workout.

    i will definately try the hip bounce, though the last time i tried, i think i did something wrong and tweaked my upper back.

    i got a 4" belt and will keep on using it.

    thx again brent!

    Keep your head neutral, lock your eyes on the wall. You could try a point of interest to look at, such as coloring a dot on the wall. Hyperextension of the neck could lead to upper back pain or a terrible headache.
    No problem, hopefully, it helps.

    Check this out it mainly what I'm running in terms of programming.
    Press and Bench Press Programming - Getting and Staying Unstuck - YouTube

    Yeah, the hip bounce helps reduce the moment arm between your mid-foot and the bar. The press requires a lot of practice. If the bar forward by little, you'll most likely miss the lift.
    I feel you on the cleans. I keep arm pulling and jumping too early. I'm probably going to see a coach if I can't resolve it by next week.

    Best luck!
