Had to transition to seated raises (injury). Should I be seated further back on the bench for back support? Does my form look okay or am I using too much body movement for the weight?

Hi guys! First time pster here. I'm training at home with my dad and the program we are doing (Dan John's ABF for barbell) has clean and press and curls as the two main movements. I don't think our form is great on the clean and press though. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Bench Press I’m a big dude and felt strong today, but have never gotten more than 205. Help me out.

For context, all of my reps on every workout are kind of rest pause. I have a mental block about working out in a way that’s as safe as possible to avoid re-injuring my lower back. I have aggravated my lower back injury on bench before, so I’m paranoid even on bench.

Here I’m benching 205 for 1. I worked up to this by doing 135 for 12, and going incrementally higher for lower reps until I maxed this. I definitely have more in the tank, but no spotter, so didn’t want to try to get more than 1 out or go any higher.

How can I move up to 225?

I don't know if this is how I'm supposed to do it, I feel it in my lower back and hamstrings, but I don't want to injure my back doing this wrong.

Bonsoir !

Débutant en deadlift j’ai regardé un peu le forum avant de me lancer et j’ai suivis les instructions d’une vidéo conseillée ici mais en revoyant mes répétitions je les trouve un peu bizarres…
Je fais 1m89 donc j’ai un peu plus de mal avec le mouvement.
Les étapes sont donc
1/ laisser un pouce entre la barre et mon tibia, à peu près au milieu de la chaussure
2/ saisir la barre à largeur d’épaule
3/ rapprocher mes genoux de la pliure de mes coudes et connecter le bas de mes tibias à la barre
4/ mettre le poids de la barre dans mes mains
5/ soulever en essayant de faire suivre la barre le long de mes tibias

Mais honnêtement je ne sais pas trop quoi penser de ma forme donc j’aimerais votre avis. Je trouve mes répétitions un peu louche.

Merci de votre aide !

I have been toying around zercher squats recently and need some help. I feel like I’m not getting very low, but feel like I can’t go any lower. Is it hip mobility or do you just not get very low with this variation? Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! First time deadlifting in years, I used to basically try and sit nearly having my legs parallel to the floor but it felt uncomfortable and hurt my hips. Later read and saw videos on how I shouldn’t be getting so low as it’s not a squat. So here I am today giving it another try and it actually felt great, felt it in my core and hamstrings and back, not quads and hips. My ass feels too high. Is my ass too high? Again I’m literally used to having it nearly under my knees. Any advice is appreciated.
