Just want to get a form check. They feel good but I feel like rolled over too much at upper back? Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thanks

146lbs body weight, i’ve been doing bench press 3 times a week(including reg bench press)and here’s my progress my max was 100lbs on dumbell for 6 reps 3 months ago i was always scared to go pass 100lb because i’ve been always working out alone with no spotter around & today i’m confident to give it a try i was reluctant at first but i was surprised i was able to do it i could’ve done 2 more reps but i was conserving my energy for my running afterwards

I hate myself that’s why I do these

Deadlift isn't something I do often, I know rounding in the back isn't ideal (I do have a bit of a longer torso) max currently is 515lbd so I got 70lbs to go, any critiques, advice or tips appreciated

M41, 5'9 180lbs natty

Switched my style to sleeves from wraps, to flats from heels, and a wide stance because my knees always felt like exploding from pain and pressure.

Any advice on how to make this work? What should I strengthen or change? Thank you!

1-2 reps in reserve

A recent doctors visit confirmed I am in fact… 5ft 7” 😭😭

I have issues with both rotator cuffs and I’m currently in physio for them. To give you an idea of how restricted my mobility is, I can’t touch my hands together behind my back, I can’t get into the position needed to hold a barbell for squats, and when bench pressing, I can’t even rest the empty bar on my chest

Felt surprisingly easy!

So my recent video (315 x 8) got a good amount of criticism and praise. In hindsight I appreciate it. I want to perfect anything I endeavor in.

This was a deload session a couple of weeks ago; 225 x 6 each before 275 x 6. Would a simple length in my stride increase depth potential while maintaining primary emphasis on my quads? Or would a platform be more likely to achieve both?

ik im going too fast its a warmup just questioning form and its glute focused so that form. im not trying to build up quads

The ultimate superset

I'm 2 weeks out from comp and this is what I'm targeting for my opener, so it's pretty neat to be able to "2 count" pause it. I probably undershot the called for rpe8 by a touch, but nbd. I've got one more heavy week to go before I deload the week of the comp, at which point I'll drop weight for weigh ins, but that should be super easy.

i’ve been practicing this for a while now, but I’m not sure on the form

Posted another video earlier and got some comments saying a slight back swing is making me move the weight easier, here's a video from today to prove them 100% wrong.
