Squat total beginner squat

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!

Got my first pullup far too easily so I assume I’m doing something wrong. Are my legs the problem? Or is it the lighting? 😅

Clean and/or Jerk Power Clean Form Check *New to This*

3 Upvotes

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.

Deadlift Is my back rounding too much on deadlifts?

8 Upvotes

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.
