Hey cool of you to take vids...

I'll be the first to critique if you don't mind ;)

SQUAT
1.) Your lower back didn't round much. Thats good.
2.) A little more depth would be better.
3.) If you can, push your knees out more.
4.) Focus on trying to use your ass as much as possible. Focus on your knees being out and using your ass.

BENCH PRESS
1.) I am not a bencher so take this with a grain of salt.
2.) Looked really good.

DEADLIFT
1.) Form was not very good on this.
2.) I think perhaps tall people find it a bit difficult to deadlift.
3.) I am not sure maybe doing it sumo would be a better idea for you.
4.) In any case, doing it sumo doesn't mean it's easier. It just means you better build rock strong hips and glutes.
5.) You are rounding your back when you are taking it off the floor. This is a no no.
6.) Your knees lockout before your hips lockout. Bad. Everything must be in unision.
7.) While lowering the weight your back is rounding again. Not good.
8.) Read the articles by Eric Cressey on t-nation in which e discusses the deadlift with pictures and videos. It will help you greatly.

PRESS
1.) Think of this exercise as the vertical bench press. So just keep your knees a little bent. Don't use them as mini-springs.
2.) Your elbows were out forward. Good job.
3.) Next time when the elbows are out forward, try and bring your shoulder blades together. That means try pinching your back. It will help.

ROWS
1.) There are many different types of rows.
2.) Your form looked good.
3.) When you pull the bar up, try and get your shoulder blades together again. Squeeze your lats together. It will help.

Good job on getting the vids
