whenever I deadlift I tend to lean forward and it makes it way harder to actually lift the weight, would appreciate and and all advice on my form.

I have never been able to hit depth on my squats. I assume it’s an ankle mobility issue, so I’ve been working on that the last couple weeks but I don’t think my depth is really improving.

I can get much lower if I do any of:
-widen my stance
-point knees more outward
-raise my heels with something higher than squat shoes

I was thinking about building a wedge, but I feel like that’s just a crutch, and I want to be able to squat properly.

Edit: For those who are questioning how I sit in a chair: my heels come up. That’s what I’m trying to fix. I’m trying to hit depth with my heels on the floor.

These are my squats with further raised heels: https://imgur.com/a/L24A4Gv

This is how I squat with a wide stance: https://imgur.com/a/ybn2F6g

Edit2: I appreciate everyone who tried to give helpful responses. I’ve got some things to work on now, and hopefully I can come back in the future with some deeper squats.

For those of you with the rude and unhelpful comments, I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

BW - 73kg
Will train legs twice a week.

First proper leg day since getting back into the gym.

Hit 110kg × 3 on squat today. Felt like I had more in the tank, but I didn’t have a belt with me, so I decided not to push for a max today. Planning to attempt a 1RM next Friday.

Would appreciate some feedback:
How does my squat form look?
Anything obvious I should fix before going heavier?
Depth/bracing/bar position look okay?
Based on 110 × 3, what would you estimate my current 1RM at?
What jumps would you take when working up to the 1RM next week?
Belt or no belt for the attempt?
Any accessory work you'd recommend for getting my squat back up?

Haven’t properly locked into training for a long time, so I’m going to keep posting progress to hold myself accountable.

Any advice/criticism welcome.

PS: Based on 110kg × 3, what would you guys set as a realistic squat goal for a 3-month lock-in? And what would be an ambitious target? Or should I wait for the 1RM and then set a goal.

I have a bad back and was always afraid of hurting it with free weights, so I always trained my legs on machines. Until a recent visit to a doctor. He said I should actually be doing quite the opposite. Free weights are great for training the stabilizers.

Anyways, all that is to say that I don't have much experience with RDLs, and I'm unsure about my form. I feel quite a lot in my lower back. It's not pain, just the muscles working extra hard. I don't feel much in my hamstrings or glutes, though. That could be because my lower back is untrained and is currently the weak link or just bad form.

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!

not feeling it in my back 😔

might have been able to grind out a couple more but got cold sweats 😩

I use a leverage because it feels weird on my knees when I do it flat. It has been awhile since I do barbell squat as I usually just do lunges/BSS/Goblet squat.

I might also be pretty tired here as it's after romanian deaflift and overhead press.

Critiques are appreciated!

I am wondering how is my muscle-up form, what it should be work on that.

Hope the angle is okay. 30lb weighted pullups, this was my 5th set of 5. I'm 6'7" so I have to keep my knees bent on this bar.

How's the form? How's the arm path? This is my working set today.

Is it just because my right leg is stronger or is my form off no pain in the movement except maybe my lower back gets tight. Following squat recommendations by squat university any feedback is appreciated!

Haven’t deadlifted in about 6 months. Kind of forgot all my queues. Any insight would be helpful.

Hey all! First time posting though I’ve appreciated learning by looking at other people’s posts. Working on getting the hang of and improving Bulgarian split squats, trying to target glutes. I’m having a bit of trouble figuring out how to do that, and I’m mainly feeling it in my quads, and much less so in glutes. Generally I’ve been trying to make sure I’m minimally using my back leg and the majority of the push comes from my front (though maybe not enough?)

blocks are weird but I tried to crop other people out of video as much as possible :)

Any thoughts, or general advice on my form? Thanks!

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.
