3. As mentioned, keep your elbows in and don't flare them out.
First of all, thanks everyone for the feedback!
Will see about my squats, I sometimes think that my weight might not be properly on my heels, so you have a point there. Should I try and get a video without the chucks just wearing socks?
For the bench:
Yeah, the bench that we have really does suck, the problem is that it is the only one and the squat rack is not really fit for benching in it (tried it once)
So, 45 degree angle should be achieved with the elbows right? Mine are definitely more at a 70 or so. I will also try to keep the feet grounded. I actually got the feet setup from the Dave Tate video, but it's one thing to see it and another to implement it.
Great feedback guys, will shoot some new videos soon to see if I could change my form somewhat.
Thanks again
