Here is my front squat:


I also like your front squat, good rack position on the shoulders.

You're falling forward in the hole, which would lead most people to feel you aren't keeping your upper back tight, what's actually happening is your butt is shooting back as your quads just aren't strong enough to keep you upright, so you bend forward a bit as your hamstrings take over.

2 things you can do to fix this proble,

1- get weightlifting shoes

2- front squat more often to build up your quads. The more you front squat the better man.

as well make sure you're doing the warm up before you train.

Nice lifts and best of luck.

you could try bringing your hands a little closer on the deadlift. When I lift my arms are just outside my knees. great lifts. I tried the hook grib but it was killing my thumbs.
