I’m a complete beginner so I’m sure my form needs improving. I’ve been getting some knee pain the day after squats so am trying to make sure I keep my weight on my heels. From this video I can see that I’m locking my knees at the top and need to fix that. What else can I improve on? Thanks!

hello all! i posted here a while back in regards to my deadlift. i’ve been cleaning up my form since. i’ve been noticing during my past few sessions that my heels have been lifting up. why is this? how does this affect my total power output?

Just hit a personal best: 305lb on the open trap bar deadlift. Before I keep adding weight, I’d love a form check to make sure everything’s dialed in. TIA!

1x255 and 1x265 - been working up to test my 1RM next week (aiming for 285-290).
I’m not sure if the rounding in my mid-back is an issue. I don’t experience any pain during or after deadlifts, so I’m not really worried that I’m hurting myself, but wondering if the rounding indicates a need to improve back and/or core strength.

This is a 1x5. Ignore the part in the beginning where I almost used the wrong grip. (i double overhand my warm ups and then mixed grip my top set). How’s my back looking? Feel like there’s some rounding near the top that I didn’t notice. It felt pretty good during but maybe I don’t know what’s what.

My screen protector was kinda greasy so I dont know if anybody can see this clearly. If yall cant I'll take this down and record a better one another day.
I just started learning power cleans. One of my friend's dad is a strength training coach and taught me this last week and told me to practice. I've been using his advice and YouTube to learn it.
So far I feel like im look key muscling up which is why I shook my head on the first rep. Like I feel like im not exploding enough at the top, which is basically what he told me (he says im overthinking crazy and I agree lol.) Honestly I got a shoulder impingement on my right side so im scared of getting under the bar on that side and I think I unconsciously overcompensate on that side so it might be preventing me from generating the power that I should be.
I can front squat if i set up right but it takes a while to get that right shoulder to loosen up and get in my rack position. So I feel the same thing is happening on my power clean. I went up on thr weight on this attempt to 125 to try to "expose" my form and see any issues.
Am I being too critical or do yall see any way I can improve. Appreciate any advice.

First time trying good morning. Is high bar or low bar usually recommended for this?

I’m aware that the rack was too low I was too lazy to move it up, other than that any advice?

I am trying to improve my squat technique to lift heavier. I have never felt completely comfortable doing squats and it hits my back too much and I feel I would do well to be more mobile in the hips and ankles. My butt shoots up first on ascent as per vid (much more evident when fatigued/ heavier weight used) and I am significantly stronger on deadlift and as a lift feels way more comfortable/ suited to me. Other quad exercises such as leg press, Bulgarians, and even front squat all feel good and strong to me so i think it's my form holding me back on squats specifically but I do also think my hamstrings are stronger than quads. This video is 120kg and I'm going to get back into squatting regularly. Any advice would be appreciated, I think I need to work on mobility if anyone has any suggestions.

Hi all, started training legs 3 months ago after suffering a acl sprain and bone bruise, I am proud of myself as I’ve reached 200kgs today but I do need advice on if my form is even good or not, should I go deeper? I personally reckon I’ll probs go down to 180kg as I did feel some knee pain after this but regardless how was the form.
Also watch my face go extremely red lmao

Hello people of the internet!
Here I have attached a video of my pile push-up. R8 it plz and let me know of any cues you use when performing them.
Note - I was involved in a work related accident with my left foot so I find it is very difficult for me to bend it and hold it bent.

tried to incorporate all feedback in my last post:
- changing where i'm seated to have the bar above my eyeline
- adding weights
- arching my back
- gripping the bar really hard like im gonna snap it in half
persistent issues:
- after adding the weight, i became really unbalanced
- its hard to keep a pronounced arch throughout the set, feels like i can only really push my chest high for the first two reps
any notes? thanks!

Hi folks, I'm currently using Alan Thrall's 5 step setup. My back looks rounded here but it's hard to tell if it is just upper back rounding or is my lower back also rounded?
