QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Nov 17 2011, 11:56 AM) Can we do lifting without warm ups? Not warming up is a recipe for disaster. You take a frozen slab of meat, you throw it on the ground, chances are it'll snap. Now, you let another piece of meat defrost, i.e. you warm it up, then throw it on the ground, it's not going to snap or crack or anything. I am still afraid to do lifting, it just looks like the weight is gonna kill me And nobody is asking you to put 300kg on the bar the first day you step into the gym. |

QUOTE(Eisenmeteor @ Nov 29 2011, 08:23 PM) Are you able to bend forwards/backwards/sideways without pain? Lie flat on the floor and try to lift one leg, keeping it straight. Do the same with the other and then try both legs. If you feel any pain or a tingling sensation in your back or down your legs, stop immediately and if that's the case, you'd best get to a chiropractor as soon as you can. |

QUOTE(Eisenmeteor @ Nov 29 2011, 09:30 PM) Only when I bend forwards have that pain..and I havent try lie flat on the floor as I'm stuck at the office..and I realized that it starts from bottom middle back onwards where it hurts the most..I'm in serious trouble am I? I can't say anything definitely as I'm not qualified, I'm merely trying to troubleshoot your problem judging from my own experience. But what you can do for now is try not to bend over to pick anything up and be conscious of the way you're sitting as well as the length of time you're sitting for, ie don't sit for too long. Then get checked up at a chiropractic centre as soon as you can. |

Anyway, what Mike said, form looks solid and depth on the squats is decent. |

Wearing a belt or not comes down to the individual. Obviously you shouldn't need to wear one on your warm up sets or for small isolation movements. Personally I use a belt on nearly all compound lifts I do because I can push my midsection out into the belt which gives me a tighter core.

Everything looks good! If I were to nitpick, I'd say try not to hyperextend the neck so much on deadlifts, a more neutral position would be ideal. And squat depth, but you've already spotted that so you know what to do!

QUOTE(nivlanauk @ Feb 10 2014, 12:16 AM) Got it. Thanks guys! Perhaps switch to push presses for a couple of weeks to give yourself a feel for handling heavier weights. Then return to regular OHPs and restart your progression on them.1 question though, how can I increase my shoulder press? I've been stuck at 42.5kg since November 2013. I've tried deloading down to 35kg but it didn't help. |

QUOTE(Eisenmeteor @ Aug 24 2014, 02:26 AM) Hey guys was wondering if my squat is correct. I think that my knees is going past my toes or something. Form looks good. Only thing I can point out is you seem to lose tightness at the bottom, hence there's a little extra movement. For this, I'd say to remember to take a deep breath before each rep and brace your core, which would feel like pushing your stomach against your abs.62.5 kg barbell squat » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(Eisenmeteor @ Sep 6 2014, 11:39 PM) Tightness is something that i have never thought of. Ill try again and see. So if theres tightness i wouldnt move so much? To be fair, there was minimal movement. I was really just nitpicking. But yes, bracing the core will generally better the quality of your reps. |
