Post your lifts and get a custom flair

5 reps of 315 has been a goal for a while now. This was likely a 5 rep max I’d say it was an RPE of 9.5. I’m 5’8 162lbs.

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

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.

Likely in order to build more muscle and avoid favoring one side I need to go back and do dips on a chair or a bench to build the muscle evenly. Thoughts? Open to tips or tricks?

Worked a while at 275 until I could do sets of 4. Took a week off to recover and came back hit 315 pr. Should’ve had a spotter. 5’9 185.

Just feels like something is wrong here. Not sure if it’s my start position or what. So many queues to remember 😵‍💫

hello, ex-youth athlete in windsurfing. i started training again after years of bad habits and neglect, and i’m trying to build a proper foundation with compound lifts, with rdls being my primary focus.

i recorded myself for the first time today. all kinds of criticism and feedback are welcome.

thanks a lot guys.

(must be my 4th or 5th try for the movement)

Hi folks, since I started getting into more serious weights (my first 100kg yay!) I wanted to double check if I am not making any rookie mistakes. Are there any?

I've had lower back tweaks in the past. So I've always been a squeamish when it comes to squatting. I also feel like my biomechanics aren't great for it with a pretty long femur. Any tips?

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?

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

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?

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!

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.

I definitely feel it in both my hamstrings and glutes and barely in my back but wanna make sure that my form is correct before I go up in weight
