pokerron,
on the hang clean you are far to erect at the bottom of the hang; try al little less knee bend while keeping your shoulders alot further over the bar like the guy in background here
,

if you pause at :15 you can see how far behind the bar you are at this postion than the guy in the blue above




; you also pull your arms way to soon; but you should really work on getting the right starting position and everything else will fall into place much easier

dudd, it looks like you have really tight hip flexors. ideally you want to be able to keep your lumbar curve at the bottom position; start doing couch stretch like this guy



until you can touch you back to the wall and hold you same side arm up next to your head for ~1-2 mins with no pain. alternate this with sitting in the deepest squat you can while pushing out with your elbows like this and maintaing back extension

aside from that start foam rolling lax balling and eventually barbell collar mashing your IT bands and hips/quads as often as possible;
also get in some reverse hypers and supermans to work on your spinal erectors

form check plz. is my ass too high? back not tight enough?

looks fine. bouncing reps is gay, though.

Bench check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crrOl0egI00

some dude who wanted to do shrugs in the squat rack was rushing me since i had my camera set up there.

my brother said my back looks awful and that it c's too much. idk what to think of that since my back naturally curves pretty terribly.

Doesn't seem like much, if any, of a curve to me. Certainly doesn't look 'awful', looks fine to me.

x: Overall Looks pretty good imo. Don't let anyone stress you out and rush you.

Definitely do not bounce imo. Do singles. Drop, reset, lift

On your setup, take a moment to get locked in, straighten your arms, dial up your strength to pull don't flip the switch.

Initial pull and midway your back looks good.

At the top you look as though you may be hyper extending your back to complete the lift. Keep your back flat and push your hips through instead.

Don't tease me like that.

were you really all that excited to see someone bench 185 a couple times?

warning, these are unimpressive lifts

I havent felt any pain my last 3 light squats(3x5x185,215,225)
so its 2x5x235 10x235 and a 225x5 sumo
never done sumo, and i havent dl'ed in like a year, so its prob atrocious. 1min 45lb plank thrown in in case i am planking wrong

rrrrrrreally hoping i can squat/dl without risking by back, if possible help me figure out what i was doing wrong before

Ive made an adjustment in that im trying to get my hips forward earlier and that is awkward(like a frontsqat) but feels good
highbar obv

Squat and deadlift vids. Didn't have a rack so the squats are slightly light. I've already noticed some things myself, but I'm sure there are many things to fix so let me have it

Think the bar is too low on your back and you're starting with your chest caved down right off the bat. I'd get it higher and get your chest/torso more upright to begin the movement.

@Yuzu squats could go lower, it looks like you're not going below parallel. Maybe some more overall tightness and keep chest up

deads look fine, maybe watch the hip drive but I think it's ok

These look really good! But those DL weights look so annoying lol

I think the squats look a lot like the ones I was doing when I started to feel pain, so I dunno, Im thinking it may have been dl related, so maybe sumo will be better. Yea, the weights get annoying.

For squat, I would say that it looks like youre hyperextending your lower back a little.
At the start of the descent you throw your ass back almost independently adding to the appearance of the hyper extention. Youre probably going lower than you need to and especially if your back issues are lower because that depth has a tendency to cause your tail bone to tuck in/

Your head is probably a little too high.... more neutral position would be safer.

I would also reset completely at the top. Super deep belly of air, lock everythign super tight, descend to just below parallel adn ascend back up.

DL is hard to see from that angle but if that is sumo you look as though your stance is too narrow. Your back looks ok, imo.

didn't even watch the vid, just based on the thumbnail, get those elbows downnnnn son.

Thanks for the tips, stupid me not filming myself earlier. Will be back with new vid of the squats later

Your lower back seems like it is probably fine, you have a lot of arch in your mid-back but not sure if that's a mobility thing, an APT thing, or that big of a deal at all.

It's hard to tell if you're finishing your reps very well - so to be safe, I'll do what Cha does even when I finish okay: squeeze your glutes and really finish strong and tall.

As for bouncing reps, I'm not a fan and don't really like doing it at all anyway. I also feel I have better results staying tight and solid having that pause between reps.

Juzu - seems like you could keep your back tighter during the DL. Seems the first one it's the tightest (although your butt rises on the first rep before the pull happens) and then after that it's not bad, but not as tight...

Looks like I've got my exhaling and inhaling the wrong way round. But ye other than that how does this look? Thanks

few things I noticed:
you don't keep a neutral spine.
your lats need to be tighter, when you let the bar down you need to control it down more by keeping your lats tighter, control the bar down your legs as you bring your ass out and then from the knees straight down.
your back looks a little bit rounded which could be dangerous if you do more weight so it's very important to have a strong core and push your abs out as you are about to lift the bar up. In general any exercises you do it's very important that you keep a nice tight core.
Also when you are first about to lift, you should pull up a little on the bar to get rid of all of the slack (this is the best I could put it in words)
And another tip is don't get into the rack until you are ready to lift and when you are just get in there and lift.
Few tips to improve your form:
You can have someone hold a broomstick against your back while you lift, it should touch your ass, back, head and that's how you know your in proper form.
I'm impressed with the fact that you are lifting this much weight but I would suggest maybe moving down in weight until you have the form down better and then you will just skyrocket in weight if that is your goal.
Lastly you can have your coach if you have one or you can make a 5 week workout phase that focuses primarily on your glutes as they are the biggest muscle group of this lift. That's my tip with every lift basically, break the lift down in to 3 parts and figure out which part of the lift you are struggling with and work on that.

here is a video you can refer to:

I made some tips on beatas deadlifts so feel free to read those. I will comment on your squats a bit quick before I have to leave.
When you grab the bar you should position your arms closer, elbows down and chest up so you can keep a nice tight core.
I can't really see your breathing but probably fine.
Also you should go down lower as that is the full ROM and will develop your legs to be stronger. I have to leave now but refer to this vid for tips:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNGnxRxCWPo
there are 5 vids just find them on the side.

That's a lot of nitpicking. Beata's deadlifts look fine (except for the touch n go).

Can we see a video of some heavy deadlifts luvinyourmoney? Not sure if you have a log. But I want to see some deadlifts from someone as picky as you. Maybe you do indeed have perfect form and I would like to see what that looks like.

is there a concept 2/rowing thread?

Ive searched but cant find it?
