r/formcheck

seated face pulls

i’m trying to target my back with these but as with all horizontal pull exercises im not sure if i’m feeling the squeeze where it needs to be? it just feels weird. i try to think about squeezing my shoulder blades together and today i found that trying to pull the rope apart as well seems to help.

how’s it looking?

Back Extension Form Check

First time posting and first time doing back extensions. I warmed up prior to this video with just body weight. Curious if I'm doing this right. Also as a tall girlie, do I need to adjust pads more?

Is my form any better from last video ? (blue tank top). I tried lowering the bar for low bar squat, weight slight increase (40->50kg)

Squat form check, knee collapse?

5 reps at 110kg, this is a reasonably comfortable weight for me but at about this level and higher I start to feel knee collapse inwards, do people think this level of knee collapse is problematic? Rep 4 especially. How can I combat it, accessories or technique change etc? Absolute max was 122.5kg for 5 but the collapse was there so I have backed the weight off a bit.

Also is this amount of buttwink ok or something I should work on?

Thanks for any other advice or tips!

Squats - can’t get lower

I have FAI and my physio told me to reduce my ROM to about this much. Worried it’s not going to be good enough? And not sure if form is ok lower back wise. I have been increasing the weight but very slowly

Butt wink during hack squat

I thought my form was okie, but on a closer inspection I can see that although my lower back is firmly pressed into the pad, at the lowest part of the descend, my butt is coming off the pad into a posterior pelvic tilt, long story short, although I had no problem whilst doing this, now that a few hours have passed, my lower back feels incredibly heavy.

I can still hinge pain free, did 5 controlled glute bridges with pause at the top, 5 cat-cow, 5 dead bugs on each leg, semi cobra to child pose and all that is pain free, but I can still feel my lower back very strongly.

I can lift my knees like in high-knees, the movements are pretty much pain free.

I'm not sure if this buttwink has loaded my lower back/spinae erectors to the point of injurying them or just loading them that has brought about extreme fatigue.

Today was just pendulum squats and hack squats, both done for 3 sets, all the reps done ATG under control.

I guess i should have stopped right at the point before my glutes started coming off the pad.

Should I be worried ? Will this pass ?
