When standing do your thumbs go straight in front of you or are they angled towards each other? Ideally, your thumbs go straight ahead, but very few have this position. If you were to hold to flashlights by your side, how many feet would it take before they intersect. <6' is very bad, 6-10' is decent.

Breaking the bar helps to keep external rotation, which isn't an issue in the technique here. It the starting position that is the issue.

Kinda straight ahead. Pointing them in at any angle feels Uneasy.
 
Bench not too bad, better than before. A bit exaggerated bar path as mentioned above. Work on getting better abdominal pressure, leg and back drive. Also tuck was a bit much IMO.

Squat, hardly looks like deload. Looks like you don't have proper control on the way down, could be mobility could be stability issue. Do some exercises for the multifidus muscle to see if it's inhibited, I think you're shaking too much (may indicate muscular dysfunction). Check the psoas major for function too. The elbows go too far back, work external rotation (stretch subscapularis but make sure it's strong too), and pull them in. Also the knees seem to cave in a little. But in the bottom. Force them out so they're in line with 2nd toe. Make sure vastus medialis and adductors are firing properly to stabilize medial portion of the knee.

Deadlift, you're squatting the weight instead of forcing your hip in. Check out Chris Duffin's tutorial on sumo deads on YouTube

Hope this helps

Thanks a ton man! Looks like I've got a lot of research to do!

And a lot more issues to fix
 
Don't feel bad, man. Its a never-ending struggle to improve that will go on for years. I think that's the fun part.

I don't feel bad at all actually!

I actually get a lot more motivated whenever I get help from you guys with fixing my form.
