"Proper form" for exercises is a meme. Here's how it works:
>invent 6 billion details about what "correct form" is
>somebody does an inherently dangerous exercise like deadlifts or OHP
>they get injured because the exercise was dangerous, and because their bone structure makes them unsuited to that exercise
>point to any of the 6 billion form details, tell them that one detail was the reason they got injured, and it's their own fault
The truth is that there is NO safe way to do deadlifts, squats, OHP, etc. People have different bone structure in their arms and legs, so some people cannot ever do these exercises safely. Nobody realizes this because instead of blaming the exercises you keep blaming the person.
Prove me wrong.

Yes, due to physiological idiosyncracies "proper form" isn't really a thing. However for everyone there is a "best practice" whereby a movement can be performed efficiently and minimizing risk. That best practice typically revolves around common lifting cues.

My advice is always a strong valsalva maneuver and core bracing.
The intrathoracic pressure helps stabilise and space out most joints involved. Adherence to good personal form is then basically taken care of because you will naturally fall into a sound biomechanical movement, except for really obvious flaws which become really obvious and easy to remedy.
The biggest form breakdowns I see always start with a lack of proper bracing.
