    Squats: Go a little deeper and perhaps expend less effort pushing those knees out. The weight is only 65kg which is not much considering you can powerclean 55kg. You are making it look harder than it should be.

    Powerclean: Not too bad, but the rack needs work. You currently have a tendency to land hunched forwards. Practice a few front squats and use the same FS stance as you recieve/rack stance. And keep your back nice and upright/tight, exactly the same position that your would be in if your were doing a quarter depth front squat. Also make the whole thing more explosive while you are at it, decrease weight if necessary.

    Deadlift: TRAINWRECK
    This not a low back issue like you think, as you setup with a pretty good back position and maintain it well for the first half of the pull. But you completely fuck up the top half. Just stand up straight goddammnit! Locked out knees, hips, shoulders back and chest up to finish each rep. You should be able to hold the finish position for a long time EASILY. Dont drop the weight like you are currently doing. I would reccommend for the meantime you lower the bar under full control/slowly like a negative deadlift. When you are more experienced drop it faster by all means, but you currently have no control there.

    It may also help to setup with your legs closer to the bar.
