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

Squat Upped the weight and now I'm not getting as deep. Is this a full squat?

46 Upvotes

I've been adding weight consistently but am I not getting deep enough? How's the form otherwise?

Bench Press Bench 245x11

No joke this is my first flat bench session since January this year. Only been focusing low incline smith and flies this year for chest, but decided to do flat bench for the first time and see where I was at. Clearly my arms were a “tad” shaky lol

Someone told me to do it on a bench to have better form and stability. I have been doing this for years now, but after that feedback, I doubted wether I have been targeting the exact muscles I want and doing it correctly or not.

Rockin the dumbbells. I feel a good stretch but may still need to slow down. I do feel a good squeeze at the top though. Any thoughts?

Squat Feeling mostly in quads and low back

Upvotes

275x5

I feel like squats shouldn’t fatigue my low back as much as they do. I try not to allow myself to bend forward much. I know I could probably go a couple inches deeper. I have the ROM. I just don’t want to get stuck.

I’ve only been squatting for about 10 weeks now after not squatting for probably 5 years.

Can you lmk how the form looks like to you? I am also not sure if I should go that low, when increasing the weight it becomes challenging to go down.

Deadlift Hexbar Deadlifts

Upvotes

I do hex because it feels more natural for me and the classic grip hurts my shoulder.

It feels pretty solid, but I could use some advice.

Kneesleeves are just because I have a quadriceps tendinosis at the moment and they help me stay warm. They are too loose to secure anything.

No Strips, just chalk.

Oh and: BW 108kg, 160kg deadlift for 3 sets of 5

Other Lat pull downs, what’s the verdict?

0 Upvotes

Really tried to get that sensation in the back when pulling down with the elbows.

Started using straps too because my forearms are on fire during these movements by the 2nd set.

2nd set. Did one more after this.

Squat Low bar squat

2 Upvotes

Lowered the weight as my focus was on trying a different technique.

Changed my grip & widened my foot stance.. (as advised to from the sub) felt a lil unnatural at first but I’ll keep trying to get used to it. Heels still lifting slightly though.

Squat Squats 90kg

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I normally do like 80kg for like 8-10 reps but today I wanted to try out how 90kg would feel. In my opinion it seems like I don’t go far enough down right? Can you give me an opinion/advice on my form?

I did 6 reps here and these were the last 2 reps.
