    Default Squat pain and form check all exercises

    Today's workout was a complete failure and last workout a partial failure due in part to a clicking sensation in my left abductor during the squat, and general pain and soreness that persists in that area afterwards. I decided to take the day to form check my squat and then every other exercise. I'll post them all here. This is my 7th training session and I have added 25 kg to squat, about 25 kg to deadlift, 5 kg to press and made no progress on bench.

    Squat is first, you can see I'm twisting to the left and shifting my hips to the right, leading to strain on the left abductor. Previous workout got 100x5x3

    Press is next. Note I am pausing and breathing at extension rather than at the bottom. Previous workout was 50x5x3

    Dips and chin ups. I'm still considering swapping dips for bench press for the remainder of my training, due to my crummy bench set up and my affinity for calisthenics.

    No sir. This is not what the forum is for. Hire a coach.
