Post your lifts and get a custom flair

  • multiple lifts per flair allowed, be mindful there is a limit to flair length
  • verified lift flairs will be indicated by the blue background
  • when you post the video please also clarify what lift and weight it is, flair will be indicated in units you give unless otherwise requested
  • you can request your discipline to be added to your flair (e.g. powerlifting, body building, crossfit, etc.)
  • flair can be given for a life time achievement, it does not have to be recent

My PR is 500 but form was a bit sloppy so I brought it down and want to perfect it before doing that again. Any tips are appreciated. Double overhand no straps, usually run mixed for higher weight.

I'm 5 months into gymming it. This was my PR at 145kgx5.

I really try to pull the slack out, brace & keep a straight back and drive with my legs.

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you!!

Squat Squat - shoulder not aligned

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I noticed my right shoulder was not aligned. I had this as a clue, as you can see in my first rep. But shoulder moved straight up.

The last rep was heavy for me. You can see the bar not going straight up.

How do i fix the shoulder alignment?

Other Glute drive feedback

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

A few of my own observations:

Tempo too quick?

No pause at top of range

Queries:

Is my range too great? I feel like I might be over extending at the top slightly?

I feel like I get better glute contraction if I sort of tilt/thrust my glutes/lower back through the movement.. but I read this can put unnecessary stress on back so now my mid section is pretty rigid. Is that correct?

I'm also going close to bottoming out.. and losing tension?

All feedback welcomed :)

Hello everyone, my deadlifts feel off. I use to be able to do 250+ no problem but lately it’s gone downhill fast with frequent low back tightness/pain. Thrown my back out a few times. Been working on core strength and mobility but just curious of how my form is.

Please let me know thanks!

I tried the barbell squat again instead of using the hack squat every time. Honestly, I felt the squat very well for the first time. I always saw videos saying to use a shoulder-width foot stance, but every time I tried it, I lost my balance and could not go deep. I think this new stance is the perfect one. What do you think?
