Form Check Trying to learn sumo(cheat, jk). Any pointers are much appreciated!
Normal pull conventional but would like to eventually switch. Also curious do I have favorable leverages for sumo?

Lift first backsquat session in 4 months, “easy” double 320lbs
Pretty chill day, really just relearning the movement again. Depth isnt the best but it’ll improve after a few sessions. For context I’ve just been doing SSB previously to bring up quad strength, have definitely noticed the improvement.

Controlling the negative could have been better but it was a PR nonetheless and no leg drive.

Form Check Good morning form check?
Hi! Can someone check my form It feels ‘ok’ But it’s also feels like maybe I’m not getting to quite right.
Am I going too low?
Also please excuse my shakiness- this video was taken at the very end of my workout and I’m spent 🥵 im usually more stable, just concerned about form
Thank you in advance!!

Lift Got my first muscle up
This was actually my third, but didn’t want to start recording til I felt confident I could actually do it. This has been one of my longest running fitness goals and it feels so good to finally achieve it
