    Having posted here, being told to resolve my eating distorder: Stalling early in the deadlift, general advide after 6 weeks

    I want to post form checks of my squat and deadlift. The last deadlift set was a failure, I could not get the third rep. It doesn't feel heavy, it just won't go up. It's only 115 kg (255 pounds).

    Here it is: DL 115 KG fail - YouTube

    Here is me doing 110 kg (240) for 5 reps. That was my last working weight, maybe the jump is just too high? I had failed that weight before giving up on the 4th rep (I have that video too if helpful). But here's the 110 kg for 5 reps:

    I also have my last squat set at 100 kg (220 pounds) filmed that I would like help with:

    Should that be another post? I think I can see knee slide. At least I've seen that before on other sets. I've been working at it with a tubow, and that has taught me what it means to lean over more than you want to. However, using a tubow I have a really hard time actually getting the knees forward to touch the block. It could be that I'm not shooting my knees to the side enough rather than not shooting them too forward. I am a bit confused.

    Is this a hook grip?

    These squats are fine.

    You're taking 11-pound jumps. Get a belt, back up to 110, and start taking 2.5kg jumps. And try to pull the bar straight up without letting rotate away.
