Have you given any thought to moving?

Not bad. Don't drop your hips when you go to set your back. When your shins touch the bar on step 3, that's as low as they should go.

If it becomes a safety issue where you're going to drop the bar on your face during the bench, then you should probably re-rack it. What part of the...

This is likely true on the first couple reps. If you watch his feet you can see the heels come up. And his back angle doesn't get set as fast as...

I'd like to see you get your upper back tighter before each rep. You're going to have to consciously lift the chest and pull the elbows down at the...

Controlling your knees is going to help tremendously with the back angle. Getting them set in the bottom and keeping them pinned out as you turn...

Can you be more specific about the program? You're doing 1x5 three times a week? You were pulling around your knees before, causing the bar to...

Bump.

Rotate the video and repost please.

You're doing a better job of being patient. And the hips look like they're in a better place on rep three for the start. You're getting the chest...

I didn't see any reason to give up on the last rep. This wasn't a failure of strength. You're going to need to be more patient with getting the...

Yes, because he's off balance with his hips hanging out forward. He would have to be able to pull the hips back to get the chest and shoulders...

Strong pulls. I'd be more patient with the setup on each rep. Get the bar back over midfoot, shins on the bar, and make sure you're in the right...

Hey Jack Let's start keeping follow up form checks for the same lift in a single thread so it's easier to refer back to what the previous feedback...

I'm looking for the wrists to be in about 10-15 degrees of extension and the tips of the elbows to be in front of the bar when viewed from the side. ...

If you don't have a training partner to help eyeball it in really time it's going to take recording and watching your sets a lot. And paying...

I'm not sure. Probably could just bookmark on your browser.

About 3-4 more inches, Frank. Similar to the above.

I don't see any difference in stance between the second and third sets. Did you widen your stance much from the initial post? Your upper back/elbows...

I'm hoping it will have that effect. If you're focused on keeping them pinned out, they'll be more likely to stay in place for the first few inches...

You can also check out the Coaching forum if you have questions about the material or concepts in the book. You may find that helpful as well.

Are you squeezing the hell out of your glutes as part of your set up for each rep? If so, stop. Don't do that. Just the quads and the trunk. The...

Not sure if you've posted since, but it doesn't look like anyone responded to this. You're trying to fix knee slide by keeping the knees back too...

Hey TJ Looks like no one's given you any feedback. Get your upper back tighter to start each rep. Lift the chest and pull the elbows down. It's...

It never seems to fail.

Hey Kyle Yes, but in the bottom position of the squat is where you'd want to create that distance. Really, the origin is moving away from the...

Jack, Jack, Jack. We want to see the setup, but a full minute before pulling the first rep? Please trim it next time. You're pulling from your...
