    Squat form tips

    Hi all, I train alone so don't often get anyone to critique my form. This morning I asked a random to video it for me. It seems a lot faster on the video than it felt, so I guess tip one would be slow it down. Let me know how Im doing http://youtu.be/PtQRMrJQAKg Thanks!

    Deadlift form check

    Could you guys tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I havent picked up anything over 100kg in quite a while. I would guess I could lift 160kg+ but my form would break down - I'd lift it with my back I think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6xU-juHHZ4 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaydzpuIf8Q...

    Dip form for bench carryover

    Is there some preferred way you should do dips to get good carryover to bench? I use a pretty narrow grip on the handles and go forward and down. The hardest part is lockout.

    Chin up ROM / form and shoulder health Q

    How far should I go up on chin ups? I used to pull the bar to touch my shoulders / upper chest, but it gave me serious shoulder pain which put me out of action for a few weeks. Yesterday I was pulling my 'chin to the bar' and feeling some serious shoulder stress. I started pulling so only my...

    rebuilding squat/deadlift form

    Hey guys, so i decided the best way to avoid a more serious injury in the future is to rebuild my major lifts, i was doing them at a decent weight, but after hurting my lower back a couple weeks ago, i decided it would be a good idea to learn and get proper form down as i had to teach myself...

    Rowing form.

    Thought I'd add this here as its one of the only good guides I've found on how to dumbell / barbell row. Hopefully it will start a good discussion. I have been doing it exactly how he says not to, and I'm nursing a shoulder injury as a result now. Long story short - too much ROM is bad - but...

    Ideal form on a DeadLift for Hamstring development

    I recently read Lyle McDonald's basic bulking program and in it he suggests the use of stiff-leg deadlifts for the development of hams. I've read that sldl can be quite bad for your back, so I've been doing romanian dl instead, but i only really feel it in my lower back and not my legs. can...

    What is the best way to stretch hams so that I can squat with good back form?

    I'm getting back into weights and want to start squatting again, but I have limited flexibility. I cant do a full squat, whilst keeping my back locked in place, it always rounds as the bottom of the squat. I figure that it is my hamstrings that are limiting me, because if I get on my toes and...

    Deadlifting Problems

    I'm having big problems with my deadlift and stiff leg deadlift. I suppose its really hard to explain without a video or seeing it irl but its really annoying me. I'm getting a sort of sharp back pain sometimes when I deadlift just below the middle of my back. When reading up on form i've...
