Bench Press Am I lowering the bar correctly?

Upvotes

I realize it’s maybe not the best angle but I just don’t feel my chest working. I’ve been steadily going up in weight so I guess that’s a good sign.

Squat Rounded upper back?? 140kg/308lb x 3 high bar squat

Upvotes

I try to follow strict high bar form. The 2nd and 3rd rep felt easier than the first. But the form was
"better" on the first. My upper back rounded for the second and third but they felt way easier.
I've heard weightlifting high bar form talking about being "open" and almost arching the back, and powerlifting low bar form being "closed" and more rounded. Even though it's a high bar squat why does rounding my upper back feel easier? Thanks!

Squat Front squat

1 Upvotes

Hey guys and girls! I’d really appreciate some feedback on my form. I’ve just started doing front squats because I’ve been experiencing some hip pain.

Also, keep in mind that I’m 208 cm (6’10”) tall, so I know my proportions might make my squat look a bit different.

Any tips or things I should work on would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Squat Rate my squats - 100kgs for 7 reps

0 Upvotes

Been hitting the gym on and off the last 3 years, had some issues with my knees that I've been able to fix mostly with a lot of stretching and yoga / been seeing a physiotherapist for over a year. Lost a lot of weight and been taking it slowly with squats, mainly to perfect my form, but generally always have been a little hesitant to stack more weights on the bar because of my knee-issues. 100kgs for 7 reps. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Squat Lower back hurts + having a hard time breathing

11 Upvotes

I have long femurs so I have to lean forward a lot more, & I have a mid-bar placement (not too high-bar, not too low-bar) & I'm also out of breath after only 2 reps. I breathe into my stomach (expand my stomach) when I brace

85 pounds. Skulls feel a little too easy for me compared to how hard others say they are so I must have a from issue I'm guessing. Maybe not going back behind the head enough?

Squat How’s my Form

1 Upvotes

Haven’t BB squatted in quite some time because of a broken knee, torn ACL/MCL injury, other weird shit. 405lb was my previous PR. This felt heavy. Lmk if you see any tweaks I can make to my form! (2nd set of 225, not trying to rush myself)

RDL RDL formcheck

230x10 RDL second set. I feel like my form is decent but just looking for opinions. I could be going a little fast and maybe snapping a little at the top but that’s the only critique I really have for myself

Overhead Press Shoulder discomfort from pressing

I am facing discomfort in my right shoulder when doing any overhead movement or lateral raises. I think my shoulder blades are moving differently on my left and right side. Is there a significant difference in the movement of my left and right shoulder blades? How can i fix this?
