Hi guys,

My name is David, I dont' have internet so my friend is uploading these video on my behalf.

Please let me know my form.

Thanks,

It looks like you're squatting with a high bar position. Get the bar lower. You need to shove your knees out a lot and make sure you're hitting appropriate depth on every rep -- some of them looked ok, others were high. Like your friend says in the first video, you need to lock out at the top, i.e. stand up all the way. Also it looks like you're trying to stand up slowly or something -- don't. And don't pause at the bottom.

Your press is better in the second video than the first. In the first video you're way out in front of your face, and you're never going be able to press a heavy weight like that. You need to get your head under the bar and lock out with it over the middle of your foot, i.e. over the back of your head.

You should probably read Starting Strength. Good luck.

My take is pretty much LudwigVan's. The only things I'd add:

1) Nice job keeping the bar path vertical when viewed from the side on the squat - keep that up!
2) Like Ludwig said, try a slightly lower bar position and more shoving of the knees out. In addition, given your body type, I would experiment with a very slightly wider stance.
3) On the planks, try and keep your body straighter. Notice how your butt is kinda up in the air? If that's what you need to do for now, ok. But eventually you want to be as straight as possible.

No deadlift video?

I'd say for press keep your elbows forward in a front squat postion, the bar has a shorter distance to travel and you can execute with greater leverage.

Your elbows should not be in the same place as the front squat when you press. In the rack position, i.e. the way you hold the bar for a front squat, elbows are as high as possible. At the beginning of the press, elbows should be slightly in front of the bar when looking from the side. That will ensure the most efficient transfer of force to the bar.
