Hip shift when I squat. As weights get progressively heavier, I have a tendency to track to my right, on the way up. I religiously use a lower body mobility routine from Joe Defranco, but the symptom usually shows itself pretty regularly. *Raw squatter, medium stance, wedged shoes.
Shins not quite as perpendicular as I'd like, during deadlifts. (Sumo). The sequence I've used to get tight and set up for years, typically yields a shin angle at the start of the pull, that has my knees slightly over the bar. I've noticed that with a lot of really strong people who pull sumo (cheat) they achieve a damn near perpendicular angle, with their tib/fib, to the floor. When watching footage of my sets, I feel it somewhat prevents me from pulling up and back, if only slightly.
Appreciate your time
