    Haven't done this in awhile and need some input. I started from scratch with both lifts after I pulled a muscle in my back.

    With the squat, I noticed my feet are further then shoulder width apart. I'll try and close them in a little. The depth looks ok to me about 80% of the time. I've really struggled with my form, but I think I'm pretty close.

    With deadlifts, I'm having a hard time finding the correct starting position. I think my back angle looked good, but it felt tired towards the last rep. My head position wasn't correct at the start, but I fixed it.

    Your squats are a bit high. Like you mentioned, your stance is very wide. Moving your stance in while still having you toes pointed outward might help your depth.

    I think your deadlift looks ok, other than you shouldn't be lifing your head up in the air.

    A narrower stance should help you get deeper.

    On your squat, you need to be looking down. Your gaze should be anywhere from 6 feet in front of you to right at your feet.
