Form checks - Squat, DL & Press
Hi everyone, been on the program for +- 2 months and would like to get some feedback on my form as I'm noticing some errors and aches.
Some data:
27 yo
173lbs
5' 8.5''
Little bit of scoliosis and using orthopedic soles because I used to have calf ache after 20' runs (supine footstep).
Press last set 3x5 with 93.5lbs
Things I notice:
- My left wrist is really bent, gladly it isn't bench press weight.
- Hip rebound: really can't get if I am doing it right. And it seems I'm incorporating a second hip movement.
Some aches I have:
- Left shoulder: After second set my left shoulder was aching a little bit, changed rest from 2' to 4' (slowly going up on rest times) and went much better the last set.
- Neck, left side: The last 3 press workouts I ended up with some ache for 2/3 days when moving my neck mostly between the left trap and the neck. This is the 2nd time I hit 93.5, last time I deloaded to 82.5.
Deadlift 1x5 with 253.5lbs
Will try to get a 45° angle next time.
I notice:
- It seems I'm not keeping my lowerback on a good isometric position, same happened during the warm up and I try to ena. I'am pushing with the legs and then pulling with the hips.
Some soreness:
- This time I had 2/3 days of lower and middle back soreness. Its beign taxing.
Squat last set 3x5 with 215lbs
Sorry for the angle, not easy to get a good one on the rack.
Things I notice:
- I'm not being consistent on depth, sometimes going just below parallel (or just parallel) and then compensating going well below it.
- I'm not constantly getting my knees fixed on the lower part of the movement.
Not aches after squatting, just a feeling of a need of decompression at the end of it..
Would appreciate any feedback!
*Sorry if it seems like a very long post, wasn't sure if it was better to make one for each lift or stick with only one for the three as they can have correlations.
