spine is in a good strong position, shoulders look strong too, hips aren’t too low. But the bar got away from your shins a couple of times as you pulled from the floor, indicating that you could perhaps sit back a little bit more and focus on keeping all your weight on your heels. The bar really should brush your shins (easier said than done)

ok ill try it today thnx for advice

You kind of bounce the bar on rep 3, but that wasn’t really reflective of the entire set. If you can maintain a good, flat back as you throw on more weight, then great, but from how light that set looked for you, you may want to post a video with a bit more weight (maybe around 250, since that set looked to be around 205x5) to see where your weak points lie.

in the 245x3 vid (the only one i can see atm for some reason), youre not resetting your body and getting tight after each rep - this will lead to injury and poor performance

What do you mean by resetting your body?

each rep should be done as a single, basicaly.

read rippetoe’s “starting strength” and watch his instructional videos. you don’t look tight. also, bouncing off the floor makes each subsequent rep worse than the one that preceded it.

tighten up your form (and keep your low back arched) now before you’re strong enough to really hurt yourself
