Deadlift and Squat form check

[Dan Zilberman]

Hi,
I haven't posted a form check in a long time. Wanted to make sure I am still on the correct path.

Squat - 137.5 kg - 303 lbs
Deadlift - 147.5 kg - 325 lbs

Thanks for the help!

DL - don't rush the squeeze. Slowly squeeze the slack out of your arms, back and barbell before you pull.
SQ - slow down the descent and get tighter. resist the urge to lift you chest on the way up. weightlifting shoes are needed here

Knees look like they are sliding forward at the bottom

SQ: Agreed on the shoes and speed.

Also, your knees are sliding forward at the bottom when they need to stay still. One thing I’d check is to re-examine your stance width. Does your stomach fit between your thighs at the bottom? If not, your stance is too narrow.

Set your knees (forward and out) early, should be set at least 1/2 way in the descent. freeze them there and then reach your hips back to the wall and sink your hips down. Alternatively you could think about shoving the knees out hard and squatting your sternum between your feet if the posterior chain cue didn't work.
