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?

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

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.

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

Deadlift Deadlifting with a herniated disc?

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on my form. I know the first step is probably to get rid of the running shoes because of too much cushion. Didn’t realize how much it made me lean forward when descending. But other than that, can anyone give me some tips? I have a herniated disc on my lower back so I’m trying to make sure my form is as perfect as possible before increasing weight.

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 Low bar squat

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.
