*** H&F Form Check Thread ***

i noe ima try it

[Spenda]

yea, overall they just look a little out of control, to me the movement does not need heavy weight at all (when done correctly). Just a very controlled decent, get a great stretch in the hamstrings by keeping your ass back and lower back extended, and then squeeze the glutes to complete the lift.

That's how I do em anyways, works out pretty well. Something like pull-throughs can be a nice substitution if you cannot get the feel of RDLs.

I realized last night that it is physically impossible to stick your ass out farther without moving your feet or lots of knee bend.

It is attached to ur legs

so idk

2nd try. Will start mixing in more FS.

Man I'd just stick with LBBS if you're gonna do FS as well. Perfect LBBS form, heh. Chest was higher here though. I'd try keeping my elbows straight under the bar, helps for me.

Damn it. Thanks for the feedback!

this.
I would also work on going faster once you unrack, especially for multiple rep sets. just 1,2 step and then go. you stand with the bar for too long imo.

I am brazilian and I never give up.

squaaaat

If this isn't it- I'm low barring. Yes, I get booed on my last rep.

Looks ok imo. Keep your chest up/chest to wall. Watch the ass/low back sliding backwards on the ascent. You could probably widen your stance a bit.

Again, for OLY lifting benefit and quad dominant ecercise, FS >>>>HBBS.

S'up Bros!

Figure it's time to stop lurking the sub forum like a creeper and realize I need some serious form help.

I just got back from the gym and looked at my deadlifts and was horrified. I thought I was doing OK at keeping my back straight, but it definitely looks like I'm rounding when I pull.

Comments/suggestions much appreciated. Should I reset deadlifts and work on this?



PS Set is basically broken into singles... sorry in advance if it's tilting to watch.

Ya- I'm trying to keep my elbows under the bar and hips under my shoulders but I can feel my body fighting it. Just making sure I'm on the right track- thanks for the help.

Hola amigos,
Can I get a form check on my presses and squats please?

Press:


and front angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WllslqZcAZ8

-- Bar rests on the top of my chest (center of collar bone). I have tried to get it to rest on delts but that always ends up with my hands being bent way back and elbow-to-wrist angle going way out even with grip just outside of shoulders.

Squat:


TY so much

Fixed. Thanks!

these videos aren't particularly recent but I think they are still probably pretty accurate. gonna try to take new video soon.

OHP - the only issue I see is I think I'm not pulling my head back far enough on the descent (or am scared to hit my face) so I sort of push the bar out a few inches and then pull it back

my squats are super weird.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK7_j...ature=youtu.be

issues with squats that I've always had and have no clue how to fix. not sure if they're all related to some central issue or if I'm just an all around squat retard
--my knees keep extending forward all the way down
--I can't keep my wrist straight (i.e. the unwrinkled piece of tape in SS) without completely losing control over my grip. not sure if that's due to flexibility issues with getting my arms back or grip location or what. my wrist is always very sore after every heavy squat set (but only for a minute or so, no lasting pain)
--I can't stand up straight with the bar. I always go up like 90% of the way, you can see what I mean in the video. not sure why I can't, but I have tried, and cannot.
--the bar does not always descend (and maybe ascend) evenly. I only notice this when I go so deep that I hit the bar on the safety thing, but it always hits on just one side instead of both
--my back is always sore after squatting (not sure if this is a problem or just standard. I don't mind the soreness, just don't want to hurt myself)

would love any help. thanks all!
