Looks like you're struggling to get your lumber spine neutral in your set up, so it's staying compromised for the entire lift. Can't tell if its the angle or not but it kinda looks like you're focusing too much on sliding the weight up and over your thighs, rather than letting the bar hang naturally.

Fair session today. Felt abit tired due to work but managed to get a new OHP Pb, so fairly happy, despite failing 75kg. Deception mentioned a little tweek i could use for more power so ill be using that to my advange next weeks shoulder session.
 
Deadlifts look very strong, but completely devoid of tightness and control. Has your uncle pointed you in the direction of the form thread? You need to learn about hip hinging and core bracing.
 
Been practicing hip hinging and core bracing as Ice mention today (cheers)..


Squat

Leg Press

Main purpose today was to work on my form for the 2 main lifts. Squat seems to be getting there apart from my slight rocking forward ( no idea why thats happening, probably due to me concentrating more on getting depth and not on balancing my self properly while pushing back up)

Felt pretty happy with bench as i am slowly improving, also on paused bench. Decent session and definitely noticing change since i started this routine instead of my old "do anything and everything sessions".
 
RE those squats:

I think if you just literally drive more through your heels at all times then it will fix it. Nothing really seems to be going wrong, it just looks like you don't know where your weight distribution should be as you descent through the rep.

Weight on heels!

Surprisingly after my horrible nights sleep i felt pretty good arriving at gym today. started off on dead lift and just kept going, after being pushed by Steven, i gave 140 a try and made the lift. Kept lifting my arse first after the first rep on 120kg but after i corrected that it just felt a lot better. Defiantly feeling more comfortable with Deadlift then when i first started.


— Edited to include GHR!
