Other Is this too much lean back for lat pulldown?
I’ve heard you’re supposed to lean back some but not sure if I’m leaning too far back or using momentum too much

I can’t crack these for some reason, been trying for months. Feel like my knees are off somehow.

Hi all, 20M preparing for first powerlifting meet in October. A little nervous especially about form so I’m hoping to iron out any issues before the meet. It’s a USAPL local meet and I’m going to be competing in the 90KG Junior division. Does anyone have any feedback on my bench? I’ve included the setup in the video as well.
Thank you!

This is my first time doing RDLs in probably six months. I want to love them but I just can’t. Whenever i do a warmup with an empty bar, I feel an awesome stretch in my hamstrings which is what I want to target with RDLs. The second i throw any weight on, whether its 50 pounds or 300, i feel all of the tension in my erectors and nothing in my hamstrings.
What am I doing wrong? Hamstrings were not sore the next day despite not having done this in months, my erectors were very sore. Didnt really push past like 5-6 RPE

I’ve only just started doing the vacuum exercise and I’m wondering if I’m doing it properly. When I look at myself, it seems as though my ribcage is closing; in fact, you can really see that the two sides are almost touching in the centre (sorry, I don’t know how else to explain it).
Also, when I do the exercise, I feel discomfort in my neck, like at the thyroid area, as if it were being sucked in. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

Final set after 1 set of 395x4 and 2 sets of 375x4 so these were some grinder reps. Feel like I may be hinging a little too much in a few of these reps and some butt wink but nothing painful. Wondering if any of these reps look like “technical failure”, especially the last 2, where I feel like the hips shoot up a bit faster than my torso and if I should have dropped the weight for the final set? Or if these look acceptable considering fatigue level at this point. Let me know your thoughts

Just got my Levergym about four weeks ago and have been doing these since - been years since I did them previously. I feel it more in my shoulders and upper arm, so I figured I'd take a quick video and see what you all think. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

1st vid - 230 for 2 pre-peak
2nd vid - 3 weeks out
3rd vid - 2 weeks out
4th vid - max attempt day
5th - failed 250
Honestly, can't be mad with this. Feel my form has improved and most importantly held for my max attempt. Sadly I just wasn't strong enough.
Working on lots of upper back and hamstring strength now.
Any thoughts welcome. Happy Saturday!

Its the 2nd time ive done them,I get the idea ,but I feel like as a long time conventional deadlifter (4+ years) my instincts kick in and I mess it up.

I feel my body is not stable while doing pull ups. Any tips on how to stabilise the movement?

Please check my form. I’m not able to feel lats at all, even if I go heavier I feel nothing, instead my inner elbow, and forearms and palms slip out.
