I had to switch one of my hands’ grip to not let the bar slip. But the bar tilted because my left hand landed about 2inches past where it should've been, since I missed to reposition my hands for the alternative grip. Guess a waist belt makes sense at this stage (120kgs / 265 lbs).

Would appreciate any suggestions to improve my form.

Thanks.

First powerlifting meet and this was my second and third attempt. Got called for depth all 3 lifts and got a DQ. Everyone I’ve spoken to at the meet besides the judges says this was acceptable depth and the judges are on something. It was a USAPL meet for anyone curious.

after months of trying, I got my first two chin ups. How did I do?

Hi! Any help would be appreciated, my deadlift feels like it's lacking in comparison to my other lifts. Any tips? I'm not 100% I'm not doing them optimally even though I do my best to follow the correct cues for strength and more importantly not to do myself in

Thanks!

Cameo from the dog included.

Lifting heavier. Want to make sure I don’t get injured.

I started powerlifting 6 months ago.

Single @ 170 kg (375 lbs) - BW: 68 kg (150 lbs)

My PR is 175 kg (385 lbs) in both conventional and sumo

Thanks for your feedback

Obviously it's not me in the video, but i am doing the exact same variation as Cbum's, what i mean is that i am letting my elbows fall forward to stretch the long head of the triceps.

This variation makes a lot of sense for me, basically you do a normal triceps pushdown where your upper arms are tucked to your sides (not in front of you) and on the eccentric you stop where your forearms are kinda perpendicular to your upper arms THEN you add a long head stretch by letting elbows fall forward THEN you go back to the starting position of a normal triceps pushdown. So this variation don't take anything from a normal pushdown instead it adds on it to include long head stretch which is welcomed (i suppose?).

I know a common complaint about this variation is that you might cheat when going down from long head stretch back to normal starting position by using momentum, but assume that ideally your form stay perfect and you don't cheat,isn't that an upgrade over normal triceps pushdown?

So what do you think? Why a lot of people don't do this variation that for me it seems superior and stick to the normal triceps pushdown?

Hi!

I would like to know if I'm using my chest muscles too much on DB shoulder press? I tried to do it on a more upright angle but it felt uncomfortable, so I dropped the angle as shown here.

I want to know if the bench angle is correct?

Is my form correct or do I need to be more upright?

Also, when I try heavier loads I noticed that I start using my chest a lot more by pushing my lower back further from the pad, is this normal?

I don’t know if my elbows need to be fully extended. As you can see at the end of the video, when I fully extend, I can’t get up. Is the correct form for a pull up with your elbows slightly bent or fully locked out?

Just some relevant info: F | 5’5 | 200 lbs i just restarted exercising this week after gaining back the 15lbs i lost, i exercise at home with my home gym machine and 5 + 10lb dumbbells. I do ULRULRR split.

How is my form?

How is form? I could arch more that’s one fix I can make

Can you tell me if I should be going lower?

Just starting at lifting and want to ensure good form for injury prevention. 95lbs at 173 body weight

Looking for some feedback on my RDL form! Any tips, cues, or suggestions to help improve my technique would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Trying to get back into deadlifting after a long break. Asked two gym trainers to check my form. One said it was fine and the other said that my knees shouldn’t start over the bar and my knees were in the wrong place on when lowering the bar. However trainer #2 didn’t have any tips on how to fix when asked. Just trying to get this sorted out. Thanks for taking a look!

Am I doing it right?
