r/formcheck

I’ve only been doing them a month but feel my form is off

Hey there!

Last week I posted looking for some feedback on my squat form, with the consensus being I need to brace more/straighten my back more.

Been working on it since last week, but just wanted to get some feedback on if it has improved

Thanks and all the best

I don’t really have the strongest core so my back usually gets a bit sore if I go too heavy 😭

I’m 100% positive my form is terrible and I’m most likely using to much weight that my chest can’t fully do the work, I just want to know where I’m going wrong. I usually feel shoulders a lot or I feel nothing and never get doms or any indication that my chest was trained lol

Would love a lot of feedback

435lb single on conventional DL.

I have dropped about 20lbs from 210 over the last couple months and it feels like my center of gravity is off or something on my deadlifts. This was definitely a 0 reps in reserve pull and is about 10lbs under my 1rm while I was at 210lb (not surprised to lose a little strength during a cut). But it feels like Im having a harder time not getting pulled forward on my 1-3 rep range weights.

It did feel like the weak link might have been hamstrings, but I'm not 100% sure. Any pointers appreciated.

Struggling to break past a pull-up plateau after 4–6 months of training—stuck at 6–7 reps and questioning if form might be the issue.

Sorry for the bad angle. This was my first time putting 225 on the bar and I’m stoked I got 2 reps! I’m also cutting and down a bit of weight so I was nervous. I know the second rep was trash but I had to go for it. Any tips from the pros in here?

Hello and thank you for insights in advance.

I feel as though my upper body does a clamshell motion that invalidates the lift. It also felt like it was in the “too-heavy” range in my mind.

This was several months ago and i have adjusted my form to a narrower stance and lower weight since then to try improving my form.

Would I be able to say I can squat 315 with this form though?

This was my max effort set today - 250lb for seven reps, I was probably 1 rep from failure. They felt decent but I want to make sure I’m keep myself safe before I actually start to get strong. I’m noticing that my position is changing a bit right before I move the bar, does that look okay?

My squat sets have been feeling like I have 3 more or so in tank but just can’t budge it or apply the force in the right way, is this just me or is my form limiting me? I haven’t been seeing squat progress but rest of leg lifts are slowly progressing rep by rep.

how is my Rdl form? if not, how can I fix it?

Video was cut short, series went 140kg x10. Thought I could do at least 15 reps, cut short becouse of form concerns. This is a new excercise for me, I am not sure about the cues that I should follow
