If I wanna record my squats for form check, how should I record it? Side view/front view?

Thanks guys. I'll just continue doing what im doing then!

Mikehuan, always see your name ma when ghosting this section tongue.gif
And i only increase the weight when i can do 5x5 without struggling. You reckon i should just keep adding until close to failure?

Yeah definitely add. 5x5 is decent just follow the program and you will be fine. Shoot for 1.5 bw or 2 x bw

yup my target is 1.5x as recommended for plyometrics training.
started squatting in March, so happy when I hit 1x BW (68kg) 2 months ago rclxm9.gif
but feels like my progress is quite slow hmm

Hi Sifus, I'm back again for form check smile.gif

-Dandarklight79mikehuan

Squat @ 1.5xBW (105kg)
So I noticed that I didn't go down to parallel. Gotta work on that.


Shoulder Press @ 40kg
Was unstable at 1st rep, so I squeezed my glutes and it helped.


Deadlift @ 100kg



Please comment on my form! and Happy Chinese New Year!

well done! everything looks spot on. DL especially

first two exercises best be done in a cage though. always think what would happen if you fail a set.

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!

Got it. Thanks guys!
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.
