Other Pull ups check M30
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.

Other Form check my pull-up
I just got my first pull-up and chin-up a few weeks ago. I do 2-3 of each 5 days a week and this is where I am now.
It looks stronger and safer than my first attempt, but I know the form isn’t perfect, in part due to my rounded shoulders which created some weak back muscles.
Can you give me tips or a mental checklist?

Deadlift Any advice?
5’9 and 175lb. First time trying 405. I know that I should try to control the eccentric movement better.

Deadlift Deadlift, help greatly appreciated!
Hello, I am stuck on 150-155kg for 5 Reps and would love to get some advice.
I can't deadlift on socks sadly, as I need to have shoes on for orthopedic reasons. Because of that I also place the bar on mats, otherwise the bar would lay at my ankles (that is too low right?) I also have modified weightlifting shoes for squats, but for Deadlifts they are not really suitable right?
Currently my bodyweight is ~90kg (aiming to loose a few kilos though), my height is 184cm. I currently do Deadlifts once a week and squats on the other leg day.
I lift for 1 1/2 years using mostly upper-lower body split and started with 74kg Bodyweight and 60kg Deadlift.
Any constructive help is greatly appreciated!
Mean comments are not. 😊

Deadlift 180kg x 3 deadlift. Lots of back here, any advice?
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?

Squat Weak Squats - Form Check
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?

Thoughts on my pull up form?
FYI I’m 6’6 and unfortunately my gym’s bars aren’t high enough for my feet to not touch the ground while my legs are straight.

Squat Are my squats half-reps?
I've starred to feel uncertain about the depth I get on my squats. I don't believe I have an issue with hip flexibility, so I'm wondering if I need to drop the weight. Weight is 105kg, M42/84kg.

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

Deadlift Deadlift form check
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?

Squat Squat 90kg for six
Have had issues with squatting for over a year now. Constantly have had to strip weight off and go up again. Back to 90kgs. How is it looking?

Deadlift First time pulling sumo, any tips?
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 Dropped weight to work on form
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)
