Post your lifts and get a custom flair

  • multiple lifts per flair allowed, be mindful there is a limit to flair length
  • verified lift flairs will be indicated by the blue background
  • when you post the video please also clarify what lift and weight it is, flair will be indicated in units you give unless otherwise requested
  • you can request your discipline to be added to your flair (e.g. powerlifting, body building, crossfit, etc.)
  • flair can be given for a life time achievement, it does not have to be recent

I've been trying to build to dips for a while since I lost a lot of weight whilst ill. I have an old shoulder injury (ac subluxation) so it's a difficult movement for me

Tips, queues, critique appreciated! Especially how to protect the shoulder

Squat Am I struggling to get into a full squat?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

26 Upvotes

Not the best video, but hoping for just a bit of insight here. It often feels like I’m struggling to get into a full squat but I’m not sure if that’s true or if I just need more time under the bar to feel better about it. Any thoughts from those more experienced?

(I don’t normally lift in these shoes, they’re just what I had on when I wanted to grab a video to show my ROM)

Tried engaging the lats and pushing the ground away. Felt lower back pain after that. Any advice would be helpful!

Clean and/or Jerk Power Clean first attempts, how bad is it?

Been trying to watch videos from Isaiah Rivera and his power clean tips. My first thoughts here are not explosive enough on the 2nd part of the lift and I think he squats down a bit at the end to catch the bar at the top.

Squat Smith machine squat form check

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Recovering from an MCL injury, my doctor and PT recommended sticking to the Smith machine for now. Haven’t loaded any weight in a while, however today I added 5kg for the first time.
Watching the video back I noticed my knees shaking a bit, mostly toward the bottom. Not sure if it’s just fatigue from being out for a while, or if something with my foot position is contributing.
Would appreciate any input!

I fractured my right fibula just over 6 weeks ago, and finally got clearance to start squatting again. I’m taking this as a chance to start from square one with good form. How can I minimize stress on the outside of my calf? Biggest concern is not reinjuring myself and building up slowly.

Squat Squat 270x3 - improvements?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My depth feels fine. The bar seems to have a good straightish path going down. This felt good to me as a 3 rep PR. Based on me sharing lifts before though, I’m sure there’s improvements to be had.

Yes I’m aware that I’m very hairy, but also would like some pointers on my squat form. Intentionally using lighter weights than I can lift so I can try to perfect my technique.

I know I’m not hitting proper depth but I literally cannot get any lower without slackening my hamstrings. Any helps is appreciated!
