With seated rows and chest supported rows I can clearly feel my back working, but with lat pulldowns my arms always tire first and I never feel much lat engagement.
I've tried lowering the weight, slowing down the eccentric, and focusing on scapular depression, but it still feels a bit off. How should I adjust?
I woke up on the 4th feeling like I wanted to try it. Solid lift, didn't tweak anything 💪🏻
Helps me to be able to handle additional squat volume and grows the quads great
Besides raising my head is my form okay ?
End of block heavy sets. Squats steadily improving, 3x bw this year maybe. Tried a block of training chins to see if I could be stronger than in pull up but seems not as I am not close to my best pull of 75kg x2.
No dip/mu max out due to some rotator cuff issues. Might also be affecting the chins as I can see it is uneven pull.
I’ve been lifting for 4 months with no guidance and want to make sure my technique is solid. Any feedback or cues on what I should improve would be appreciated.
While glad my strength is improving I feel like the way I handle the dumbbells doesn’t look right, I guess there’s some inward rotation and also lack of stability
Very unexpected day, been staying consistent with the Gym while i can so this is such an accomplishment for me🙏.

Previous bests were 187.5kg x 2 and 215 kg x 1 earlier this year. The latter was in a USAPL meet, and both of those were in my stiff knee sleeves (this pair is just a loose beater pair).
Actually this came at the end of my lighter volume work too.
I tried power clean of 80 kg. I weight around 65 kg. I guess my back is little tweaking. Failed twice, succeed in third go. Suggest me how to improve.
