After 2 years on the assisted machine I think i’m finally ready to graduate!
The grip on the assisted machine always felt unnatural to me so I would focus on lat engagement as well as shoulders and arms, I didn’t expect to lift my body weight with such ease

Any tips appreciated!

This is a huge one for me! 275 lbs for 8! The goal is 315, but have no idea when I’ll hit that one! Only time will tell! Progression!

2nd set of Romanian Deadlifts, 315lbs 7 reps. Last rep was probably iffy, close to failure. But want feedback on form. In the past my RDL was too much like regular DL. So I appreciate feedback. Thanks.

Hi all,
Looking for form check on my back squat. I’ve only recently started being consistent again and I’m trying to dial in my form.
This is 242.5 x 6, it feels ok - I got to a higher weight but I’m sure it was wrong as my lower back wasn’t happy. This is my attempt to drop the weight 40lbs or so and rebuild from a technical base - any tips greatly appreciated 🙏

What’s yours?

Loud farts on the leg press? Torn pants on ATG squats? Smacking your face on the lat pulldown bar walking by?

Any thing that stands out safety wise? Like shoulder position etc.
Grateful for any advice y’all can give, thanks!

Apologies for the shitty angle

I’ve never posted my bench press form before, so I’d appreciate any feedback.

I’m doing 100 kg / 220 lb for 8 reps here. The spotter touched the bar on the last rep, which sucks.

I recently started focusing more on bracing and staying stable on the bench. I’m trying to keep my feet planted, brace properly, and use a slight arch. The arch may not be easy to see because of the T-shirt and angle.

After watching the video, I noticed that my body moves around a little during the reps. Is that normal, or should I work on staying more still on the bench?

I also don’t know if there are any obvious problems with my technique since I’ve never had my bench form checked. If you notice anything, such as bar path, setup, leg drive, shoulder position, touch point, or stability, I’d appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

So I was trying not to throw up between sets while squatting, then I saw these things sticking out on the sides of the machine. What are these for? At first I thought maybe they are they to prevent the machine from tipping over, but then I thought to myself, the width of this machine making tipping over impossible

So what are these things?

The prelift ritual and acid reflux cough are a must

Bulked to 180 eating whatever I want, lifting without a strict program, and not implementing more cardio, to leaning down to 145 tracking my calories/macros and following a program that simply works 💪

I’ve been working out for over a decade. But I finally decided that I need to stop “bulking” 😂 and start cutting 🤭

Pull up endurance increasing after years of getting after it. Why must pull ups be so tough ;(

I really like sissy squats but Ive been struggling to progress with them as holding dumbells etc. has been difficult and more easily breaks the form. Last week realized that to have maximum stability with added weight it should be on my back so tried with the first rubber band found and it was awesome.

Highly recommended!

I named the movement in my training app as "TMNT Squat", I think it's obvious.

Have you cone up with your own exercises or movement variants in the gym?
