 And then today... Squat: 335lbs: 5-3-4 (PR) OHP: 120lbs: 5-3-2 CHinups: 10-5-3 I have major issues at the bottom of my squat, where I can't handle the force from the weight and my spine angle tilts forward as I go past parallel. I'm not sure how to fix this... my legs are strong enough but my middle back basically succumbs to the weight. Do I go down slower? Do I try to focus on staying tall, keeping the chest up, and try to act against gravity? Advice appreciated :O | ||

On Squats: Keep your weight slightly more on your heels. You are not hitting full depth. Your wrist position is crooked, it should be straight. And for the love of god don't workout in jeans. Cool to hear you can lift again though :D | ||

Such a good day. Congrats man!  you're such a hard worker it's inspirational! Luckily I read this before going to the gym, NECO SMASH!!! (◣ω◢) | ||

Today: Press - failed again on 65kg so I Push Pressed the 65 for 2 reps and then did another PP set with 62.5kg. Gonna just attempt 62.5 next week and see how it goes. Deadlift - 1x3 145kg Close Grip Chinups - 3x3 bw + 15kg. Bodyweight is around 76kg I think, so I'm still pretty far away from my PR which was about 3x3 with 110kg overall weight, | ||

Need advice >.> Both loook fine to me, really. For the deadlift, as said above, just focus on having the weight even closer to your shins, it just looks a little bit forward. You don't hit depth on the squat, but this just seems to be a flexibility issue, with should resolve itself fairly easily as soon as you put more weight on the bar, which will basically force you into the right position. But the movement looks fine, maybe you could sit back just a little bit more, makes it easier to hit depth in my experience. | ||

After working out consistently for 5 months I had my first " I dont feel like working out" week last week, mostly because my mother came back from vacation in vietnam and brought tons of delicious food. My paycheck was was a cold and 38.5°c fever from friday-sunday and after 9 days of not working out I went to the gym again yesterday, did my routing with a bit less weight and 50min treadmill afterwards. Feels like being reborn. | ||

Your squat looks like mine, which is to say you have the right idea but don't have the mobility. Personally I've just been doing lunges and bw/pistol squats while I improve my flexibility. | ||

the squat, you need to go ass to grass, sitting down instead of back (imo. if you were sitting back idk doesnt matter), and like someone said your form will probably be all dodgy until there is weight on the bar so i wouldnt worry about that for now. but the depth you were doing there is no good watch some vids and compare yourself to them, that will probs help with deadlift at least. you can even browse random weights on youtube like "50kg squat" and see peoples form checks | ||
