    SQ: Try and get your knees forward sooner on the way down. It will help with staying midfoot and not shifting back on the way up. Also, keep your head down and gaze fixed on your spot on the floor. Depth might be a bit borderline on the later reps, but tough to see with the dark shorts and rack in the way.

    DL: You need more squeeze in your back. Squeeze slower and don't have the head involved. Think of raising your chest up slowly (no neck or head). Keep your head neutral and looking at a spot on the ground about 10' in front of you. Keep looking at that spot the entire time you lift. A slightly wider grip might make it easier for you to squeeze your back and also get a bit more legs assisting you.
