Squats
I know angle isn’t great sorry
I get lower back after warming up and it gets bad after I go heavy is it my form?
Not the prettiest, but gorilla glutes are gorilla glutes
Recovering ego lifter here, I’ve always had a lot of trouble with squatting in general. Since the video is poorly filmed, my leg placement is about 2-3 inches wider than my shoulders, and my feet are at about 30 degrees. Any advice would be appreciated!
Dead li
DL gets stronger every time I do it. Managed 100kg 4x2 then decided to do singles or funzies.
Overall this felt strange? My lower back for the moment doesn't feel too bad at the moment. But everytime I look at the vid, something seems off.
My current theory is that I am not engaging glutes early enough in the process.
Thoughts?
Been struggling to get past 190 for a while now but finally managed to get a small PR. Normally I struggle when I’m just off the ground but here it was grindy to get past the knees. Happy I got it though! Aiming for 200 this year.
Can do 160kg now, pretty happy at this weight though! Started training cos of a torn ACL in my left knee.
Been lifting for 5 months, I do 6 sets at this weight now. Any tips?
Bench press tilt? Why?
Hey, I’ve been lifting for just under 2 years now and while benching, I got told that the bar was tilting towards one side.
For context, I shot this at the end of my workout. I have read posts on other people having the same issue with comments listing multiple possibilities regarding where the problem lies. Like shoulder imbalance, hip imbalance, weakness in lats and even scoliosis.
It seems that the bar goes lower on my left side even though I have measured my arms to see if one is longer than the other(it is but only by a few mm). I never actually noticed myself using one side more than the other and am equally sore on both sides on the day after the workout.
I am happy to provide additional context if required, and was thinking of moving to the smith machine while I identify the problem and get this fixed.
Here’s another set. https://streamable.com/mopiu1
These were at the end of my workout. I’ve moved 95lbs before but wasn’t feeling it today.
I’m very new to the snatch. I feel like I just don’t understand it. I’m trying to develop more explosive power so I’m trying to learn it along with doing plyometrics.
I feel dumb whenever I try to snatch or clean. Too light weight feels like I’m not doing anything, and too heavy feels like I can’t do anything and there doesn’t seem to be much room in between.
Can anyone break this down Barney style for me?
Had to embed a link because Reddit wouldn't let me upload the video. Looking for feedback on my form, this is 240lbs at 140lbs bw. I've been told recently that my femurs look long for my frame, do you guys agree? What adjustments do you recommend if that's the case?
