Deadlift Dropped weight to work on form

21 Upvotes

Got really good feedback last time, would love for the community to give me some pointers. I dropped weights to work on form- currently doing 3 sets 10 reps at 80kg from a previous 5-6-8rep progressive overloading (120kg-110kg-90kg)

Other Pull ups check M30

11 Upvotes

Yesterday a guy at the park told me that my pull-ups are wrong because I relax too much on the way down. He says that it is correct for me to fully straighten my arms, but that I am lowering myself further below that level and that I risk injuring myself because of that. This surprised me because I always try to straighten up as much as possible when I'm down.

Squat Any tips on my squat? I find myself leaning forward too much

12 Upvotes

The Tips I got on my bench were super useful so I’m trying again for my squat!

I’m aware the walkout is shaky, it’s not normally an issue, but the leaning forward is, any tips welcomed!

Bad angle for seeing depth but my wife/ lovely camera person said i was just past 90° which is what i was going for. Not a super deep squat like i do when I'm actually training.

Deadlift I'm back. What am I doing wrong?

1 Upvotes

I've been at a deficit for the past 3 weeks. To be honest, I was surprised that I was able to hit this weight considering my current 1RM is 375. I was a little impressed, not gonna lie. BUT I know my deadlifts are not "good". Can anyone give me some advice? My goal is just get to 405, but I've been stuck at 375 for about a year. I've been told by many people that I have the strength for it, I just have bad execution.

Other Lat pull down 135Lbs

5’6 135lbs any criticism is welcome. Difficult to do heavy at this gym as my legs are too short for the leg bar to let me get a solid base. Should have put yoga bricks underneath…

Deadlift First time pulling sumo, any tips?

21 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've only pulled conventional and today was my first time ever trying sumo. It feels good but awkward at the same time. I feel like I'm built better for sumo and once I get the form down it'll be good.

The main issues I have right now is pulling off the floor, it feels super awkward since I'm not used to the stance. Also the mid portion, my knees start to buckle a bit. But once I get past that portion the lockout feels effortless.

Any tips?

Deadlift Wanted to form check my 275lb rack pulls before moving up in weight

1 Upvotes

It felt good in terms of no pain and I felt most of the tension in my muscle. But wanted to check to see what you all thought before moving up in weight. The weight doesn't feel particularly heavy.

Squat Squat check

Apologies I know the angle isn't perfect but the best I can do.

Clearly getting near my limit on these.

Am I wobbling around too much on the push up or is that okay? Lower back is feeling a little niggled after so having some doubts.

Squat Weak Squats - Form Check

Thumbnail
streamable.com
3 Upvotes

Compared to my other lifts, my squats are absolutely terrible.

I think it might be a combination of weak lower back + weak hips? But deadlifts are okayish compared to the squat(more than twice the squat weight), those are also hip driven right?
But maybe it's just the form - that's what I wanted to check with you here. On the video you can see i have a slight arch, is that a problem?

Deadlift Deadlift form check

3 Upvotes

This is me lifting 110kg for some reps. When I increase the weight on my deadlift, I feel strain in my lower back disproportionately more than in my legs. I have relatively long legs compared to my torso and people have recommended me to try sumo. I'd rather keep on with conventional deadlift however.

Should I simply do more reps on lower weight to fix my form before going up?
