    Default Squat and Press form checks

    Looking for form checks on my squat and press. Squat feels pretty good but is my back too vertical? Maybe a little knee slide? I seem to initiate the press early before my hips rebound back when the weight starts getting heavy. Agree? Any tips to address this? Thanks

    Here's some educated guesses before someone more qualified chimes in:

    1. With the squat the stance looks a little wide which would explain why the back angle is slightly too vertical. I'd also move your grip width in as well. The Paul Horn low bar stretch will help if your flexibility is limited.
    2. During the press it looks like you're hyper extended and on your heels. Brace your abs to straighten out your back, and focus on pressing the bar straight up instead of back.
