I am an absolute beginner so I don't have much to offer. Two things I see are, it looks like your weight is getting on the balls of your feet on the way up, you should stay on the back and outside of your feet. The other is, it looks like your lower back is bent a little. I try to eliminate this by tightening the flutes. From things I have seen and read you want the barbell to move straight up and down in a vertical line, yours is doing a little semi circle. However, all in all, not bad though.0

Torso is a little too far forward. I'd try focusing on a point on top of the wall. Keep your head up and try sticking your chest out a little more. This will help keep from putting too much weight on the balls of your feet and shift it to your heels.0

Yessir, I think you are a bit too forward at the waist, try to get you head up and eyes forward. i use a mirror and try to stare myself in the eyes that way ur back stays straight and it is easier to keep ur form proper. for the record I was way stiffer than you when i started, kinda like the tin man from oz so you are well on ur way my friend. Keep Banging Bro!!!0

Thanks guys -- looking forward to trying it tonight. I'll be squatting almost my body weight today.
Also, 3rd attempt at 70lbs for OHP today. (That makes me feel so weak.....)0 -
I don't think you're wearing appropriate shoes. You want something with a hard sole, but those look like running shoes.0
