I’m working out for over 2 years now. I have become match stronger and heavier in this period. But with some exercises I find it very difficult to perform them well because I am loosing my balance. With exercises like lunges, squads, dead lifts and straight leg dead lifts I find it hard to stay balanced. Does someone know if I can train to improve my balance so I can do these exercises correct?

Maybe you're taking too heavy. Lighten the load and concentrate on good form. Do these slowly and in a "controlled" manner and you'll feel a big difference...
Good luck!

Stand on your bed, close your eyes and take a (small) ball in your hands and try to roll it all around your waist.....
Or get down on your hands and knees, close your eyes and now first straighten your right arm in front of you with your left leg behind you. Change side. Do this several times.
Great exercise to work your balance.

Its not the weight thats the problem. Even with no weight at al I have problems to stay balanced. Sometimes the weight even helps. (lunges with dumbles for example)

Yoga is good for balancing (and strength).
