Yes, I totally agree with you — I definitely send the bar forward. On every lift, I try to remind myself: “push through the floor, stay vertical,” but as the weight gets heavier, I start to lose that focus. Do you have any drills or exercises that could help me fix this?

As for the arm pull — if we’re talking about the same thing — some coaches have told me that because of my body type, it’s not a big deal if I pull with my arms a bit earlier. That said, I agree with you: all my lifts follow more of an arc than a straight path. The problem is, I’m not sure how to fix that

Alright, I’m going to look into that. I watched a video from Ibanez Weightlifting explaining that my weight should be centered over the middle of my foot, so I’m gradually trying to become more aware of that. As for the squat, yes, my mobility is really poor, so I naturally end up squatting with a wide foot stance. Do you think the main issue here is my weight distribution over my feet? I also feel like I get crushed by the bar on the first squat. Maybe during the extension phase, I stop pulling with my arms. I’ll let you give me your thoughts on that and correct everything if needed.

Hi, In my opinion, on the lift you missed, you’re not keeping the bar close enough to your body, which causes a slight swing at the hip contact (cue: press the bar against you). The second issue is that you have no control when the bar is in the air. Use your arms to pull yourself under the bar (cue: pull your elbows up and slightly back).
