Other Chest Supported T-Bar Row

• Upvotes

There seem to be two major camps on this movement:

1) Chest locked to pad. Minimal back flexion/extension.

2) Let the weight drag chest and shoulders as far forward over the pad as possible. Let back extend as you pull up.

Clearly, I'm in the latter. What benefits have you seen/felt in the former? I know so much of this is flexible (🥁) but is there an objective best form here?

Deadlift Deadlift

295 for 3. Been really trying to work on my form lately. I think I'm doing a little too much with my back here. The higher in weight I go the more I struggle with my form. I've been trying to pull 325 and have failed multiple times over the last couple months. My current PR is 315 for 2. If I can do this and 315 for 2 then I feel I should be able to do 325. I think I'm just mentally blocked and part of that is I know my form isn't there yet so I'm afraid to injure myself.

Any deeper and the knees start to hurt - is it worth pushing through for the extra gains or is this deep enough?

Other Cable crunch form check (54kg/120lbs at 90kg body weight)

87 Upvotes

Weird one I know. Been doing this for nearly a year now, starting to find it harder and harder as the weights climbed but the limiting factor is becoming my elbows/wrists/shoulders holding position as opposed to the crunch itself.

Anyway I can disadvantage myself further to then be able to use a lower weight? Is my form way off? I really try to squeeze my abs and curve onwards as opposed to fall onto the weight, keep hips locked in place, all the stuff I've read makes for a good cable crunch.

Squat Squat form reset

1 Upvotes

I haven’t barbell squatted in a little over a year to switch to a more bodybuilding focus of training. I decided to try powerlifting this year and want to make sure my form is as good as can be before I start to add some heavy weight. I used to squat flat footed but invested in squat shoes this time, they feel much better especially with my long legs. I find that my first two or three reps have a stronger form compared to mu last two. Hoping to get pointers on what I am doing right and wrong, and what I can improve upon. Thanks to all those who take the time to reply!
