Attempting to focus on upper back development with these but can’t get a good connection with my upper back muscles.

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?

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)

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!

Im having a really hard time improving my deadlift lately, and im considering switching to sumo, but I really want to make conventional work. Do you guys see any specific cues im missing on here?

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.

im a noob still only a few months squatting and im only 140lb 🫶

I could use some advice on my form. I have some knee pain I'm trying to address. Thanks!

Been trying to dial in my deadlift after not doing them for a while. Worked my way back up to 315x3 and this set felt good but I wanted an outsider’s perspective. Any thoughts or criticism are appreciated 🙏

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?

Last few weeks of a Smolov program. I stopped using squat shoes because it was inconvenient to take them on/off. Now I use thin, flat-soled shoes. I also started putting my hands in a narrower stance for no particular reason.

These past few weeks, the bar has been tipping down on the right at the bottom of my squats. I found that the bar was directly centered on my traps during some of these but even when corrected, the bar tends to tip downward and my hips shift slightly to the right.

Any help with this is appreciated, I have three more videos from this session, and I may have more examples from previous sessions.

Decided to lower my weight and focus on my form. Looks good?

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…

So I never really got big into deadlifting until a month ago or so. I know that for 405 I should have lowered the weight slowly so there’s that, anything else?? Again, sorry if my form isn’t perfect I really haven’t deadlifted too much.

I just got back into deadlifting. I’m doing 285 in the video just for a demonstration, but even on my heavy sets typically my form looks exactly the same. Any advice?

Just to give some context, I have injured my shoulder in the past. It’s the same shoulder of the arm that goes down too far. Not sure if anyone has dealt with this issue. It’s extremely frustrating because I haven’t been able to bench in 6 months and this was the first time. Any tips would be appreciated.

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?

Failed my PR squat pretty badly. Not sure what went wrong but I felt so unstable at the bottom of the lift.

My pullups were very uneven, so I did a ton of one-sided work (mostly single arm pulldowns and Meadows rows). Do these look OK? I feel like I'm still a bit uneven.
