    Kindly ask for a qualified form check. 87.5x5x3, 3rd set. Working back a LP after the forced layoff.

    When you get your breath, don't excessively lift your chest and extend your spine. Just get the breath normally. Nice and tight like someone is going to punch you in the gut. I would widen the stance a half inch on each side. Cut 2in off the depth because its causing you to lose tightness at the bottom

    Thanks, tried to incorporate your critique. Uploading the 2nd and 3rd set, because on the 3rd set the form went partially out of the window. Again asking for your feedback, thanks.

    You are still lifting your head and chest and arching your back when you get your breath. You won't be able to get as tight doing that and it causes excess movement that will throw off the bar path. Get your breath without moving your body. Get a nice tight breath and think about having the bar move in a slot over your midfoot throughout the set
