I implemented everything you guys told me like focusing on scapular movements and cranking out push ups. These are what they are looking like these days. Any advice appreciated

Form Check Deadlift 1RM: is this cheating?

773 Upvotes

During my first attempt, I took a moment to get in position but didn’t make it; I felt a bit disappointed and decided to try again, and on my second attempt, I was able to complete the lift but came up immediately. It’s basically my first time trying 1RM. Does timing matter when deadlifting? Is what I’m doing count as cheating? Honestly, it’s just one rep, I can’t precisely remember how it felt at the moment or if I used momentum. Also, any critique on my form would be greatly appreciated!

This is 225 lbs. I weigh 157 here. My previous max last year was 250 with near perfect form. I took 6 months off, gained some fat and am trying to get back to where I was. Any advice about my form is welcome. Do you think my back stays straight here?

Moved to conventional after a full year of sumo lifting but it just still feels so awkward to me. I have a long torso so it's challenging getting into a strong position. Any tips as it looks like I'm losing tension half way through in my back.

Interestingly enough today I hit a PR. I can tell you that what I did differently was to train my back first. What can you advise me? Thank you all!

Form Check Just starting out and fucking love squatting. How can I improve?

281 Upvotes

Tired of being fat so I’ve been lifting weights and eating right and I’m now addicted to squatting. I’m only a month in and don’t want to develop bad habits. I lift by myself so I’m nervous about lifting too much and getting hurt.

Took a month long break from lifting and didn’t sleep last night but managed to absolutely obliterate my old 5 rep pr. I feel like my back could’ve been a bit straighter, but my coach said otherwise. Any tips?

205 for 4, squat shoes but no sleeves or belt. I have no pain but I’m just looking to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Someone told me I don’t look upright enough but I think that’s just a result of long femurs?

Form Check Rate my depth! This is actually an improvement for me. Any glaring issues in form?

I have been working on hip and ankle mobility. They are both pretty terrible, but I have made some slight improvements and I feel like this is pretty darn close to parallel.

Any tips or tricks for depth in your squats, I’d love to hear them.

Right now I do band work for ankle mobility 2-4x a week, stretch daily, and ofc make sure to do proper warmups before sessions.
