Can anyone recommend a good (trustworthy) website where I can get some good pointers on technique and form for weight lifting (deadlifts, bench, and squats mainly). I'm starting to get more weight on the bar and I don't want to end up pulling something or get in the pattern of a wrong form.

    bodybuilding.com and jefit are probably your two best bets. Also, find good lifters on youtube and look for their technique videos. Physiques of Greatness and Omar Isuf come to mind.

    ^^^^This^^^^^^ but I would also like to add that I have got the best information off of YouTube. For example I was at bodybuilding.com and watched the vid on how to properly bench press. There was no information about leg drive in the bench press or engaging your shoulder blades before the lift.

    Along with Omar Isuf and Physiques of Greatness on YouTube I would also like to add CanditoTrainingHQ and Chris Duffin from Elite Performance center. Chris has a lot of videos on properly using your core for all lifts.

    I'd also check out Elliot Hulse's videos on the youtoobz.

    These videos by Allan Thrall have helped me enormously as an absolute beginner:

    Squat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs_Ej32IYgo

    OHP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wol7Hko8RhY

    Bench: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYKScL2sgCs

    Deadlift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1IGeJEXpF4

    They go into lots of detail and are filmed from multiple angles. I give some Bonus Points for entertaining facial hair too.
