Form check Thread!

[ark94]

Last thread i will make about form check. I will just post my videos in here, so there will constantly by videos in here and some questions etc.

Today was full squat day, and dynamic rows and benching. Benching i didn't record.

Full Squat
So as you can see my first set was horrid, my back rounded so much it was unbelievable. Literally unbeliavable, after looking at it and checking something, my second set was a little bit better. I got a little indicator i use in my head, that i can sort of get my depth where my back won't round. Though in the second set, my back did round quite a bit on some of them. Third set wasn't that bad, i know i can use a lot more weight, because when i used my indicator on some reps where my back was good and didn't round, i found the weight considerably lighter then when i would go down TOOO far. Next week my video will be a lot better, i will use my little indicator so hopefully my back won't round at all! Any thoughts on my back rounding?


The guy that is helping me is making me do a heavy day at #11 pins, where my back doesn't round and i "touch n go" to help me prevent the rounding of the back and use more weight. However we kept the full squat so i can still practice it, and im suppose to use heavy weight. Do you think i should set the pins a bit higher? Or sort of do what im doing now, mentally getting a spot where my back doesn't round?

Dynamic Bentrow
Well, i thought it went a lot better. However, i am not too familiar with the form but i think i did use a bit of legs, and my form wasn't all the best at the top of the row. Thoughts? how did it look?


Btw, monday i will have my dead lifts and push presses up. Thanks ahead for the input!

DEADLIFTS & PUSH PRESS

Here are my deadlifts and push presses from today.

Again, on push presses still going too far back, but im slowly working on it.

Deadlift. How do they look? I went into my workout saying i was going to hit 260 for 5 and i did. But looked at the video and wasn't all that impresses, still it was not horrendous form, i know after rep 3 it got bad. Rep 3 was a bit fucked because i didn't drag it on my shins, thats why i was a bit unbalanced... (you will see it in the vid).

Any input on the lifts?
Thanks..

deadlift: 1st 3 reps looked much better than before, but your legs are locking out way before your hips, so try to keep them locking at the same time.

Push press: wouldn't worry about it, looked fine

Thanks tblock. My last 2 reps even the 3rd rep on dead sucked.
So about my legs locking out same time as my hips.... Any suggestions to that? Its the way im lifting? Am i using too much back and not enough legs? Or..


Here are my videos from yesterdays workout.

Never again going to workout in the morning. Hated it, just hated it, no energy at all.

Here is my back squat, and dynamic row.
I easily could have gotten 145lbs on back squat, and row was messed. How does the forms look?

Back squat my knees/legs are not always stable. More towards the 2nd set last rep and 3rd set. My legs sort of wabble a little, are are not solid when i go up, on the way down there fine though. One thing i do notice after watching them a second time, i drop way too fast... is that bad?

Dynamic Row i thought it was fine, there were flaws as the sets went on. How do they look?

Any input is great, thanks!
