    Hi, I’m getting back to Starting Strength and need some help examinating my form:

    On the squat I can see that I’m an inch too high: YouTube

    And the deadlift: YouTube

    Please don't post squats you know are high. Squat to depth and repost.

    For the deadlift, keep your hands on the bar for all 5 reps for a set of 5. Put more weight on the bar. Are your plates not 450mm, is that why they're bolstered? These don't look bad otherwise.

    Thank you. Yes I’m using smaller 350mm iron plates. Today I’ve recorded another workout and tried to implement issues you’ve written about:

    Deadlift:

    Squat:

    Hope it’s better now

    Both lifts look good. You probably want to slow down the descent in the Squat a little. Add 5lbs.
