Bumping to the top to get a response on my lifting videos.

I thought they looked good. I'd try to arch the back at bit more, or at least keep it really straight. You could also try to be more explosive.

When you say more explosive, are you saying I should do them faster?

Grrr, double post.

Yeah, accelerate more once you have them off the ground (don't rip them off the ground)

My squat form videos are on the previous page if someone can give me some pointers on those. I'm not at all happy with my squat form.

The squats are just about parallel. Your definitely gonna have to get lower than that. Unless you just want to go parallel... This Dan John video helped me the most in squat depth.

You seem to be slowly inching towards parallel as your sets went on, but you're not there yet. You're sertainly not the only guy in the gym going that depth, but if you want to do a proper squat, maybe work on flexibility with less weight. Even just bodyweight squats working on getting right down into field-poo position.

You should do Starting Strength instead of the 5x5. The 5x5 is designed for intermediate lifters that make progress more slowly than novice lifters like yourself. The 5x5 is a good routine and you'll make good gains using it, but you would make faster gains on Starting Strength. If that's important to you, you should consider it.
