Good for you.
Good program to start on.

Yes correct posture and technique before putting on weights on the bar. But you can put micro plates (2.5kg?) or 5 kg just to have some feel. Sometimes just bar alone hard to have correct posture especially when you are new, because it's a bit too light.

Just make sure, back arch at all times, at almost all kind of weight lifting.

For example, bench press, there will be a space between your lower back and the bench, hence the arch.

The squats, keeping it straight, but once u do heavier, there will be a slight arch too.

Actually, make sure you brace your core. Then the slight arch will automatically be there.

Like breathe in, hold your breathe, compress your inner muscles / core, and do your rep.
Breathe out after rep ends. and repeat.

Eh forget 1.25 plates. Just go for 2.5kg.

1.25 a bit too little. 2.5kg really isn't that heavy.

oh bench press i would recommend your feet flat on the ground. Not just the front of your feet. You should be pressing through the heels on the ground.

Hmm I started on SL too, but if I'm not wrong, 2.5kg increment on each side. Not total.
That's what I did anyway.

First of all man, congratulations on starting. I'm glad me and lingleeyen encouraged you enough to begin your workout. This journal is a good way to keep track of your lifts. I sure wish I kept one when I first started. There's nothing like looking where you've been to appreciate where you are right now.

I can't watch youtube videos at work so I can't comment on your form. I'll try to do so by the time I get home but I usually get back quite late from training so I might miss out on doing so.

Get the 1.25kg plates. They're useful, especially on bench press and OHP. They're useful now as a beginner and super useful later as an intermediate when you have to fight tooth and nail for every kg you increase on your lifts. I got mine for 40 bucks in lelong. Before that, I used to use big ass chains I tied together with carabiners which costed me 10 bucks at the hardware shop. Leave it in your car so you don't forget about them when heading to the gym.

I wish you all the best and good luck. If you have any questions about training, feel free to PM me directly or comment on my training journal.

2cents from a fellow beginner:

Squat: Try to make it a habit to unrack by extending ur legs rather than using ur calves. Take it slower when u're moving up, might hurt ur knees, maybe it's time to put some weight on if u move too fast. Dont point ur toes too much out. 11o'clock and 1o'clock should be sufficient

Bench: As already pointed out by others, always plant ur whole feet firm on the floor. As for the bar path, i think it's not much problem if it's straight? The rest, u already know it

Row: Form looks good

Press: Form looks good too, but I suck at this and stuck at 27.5 (w/o bar) like forever

Deadlift: Yeah slightly rounded on the negative, brace ur core and squeeze ur shoulder blade through out

*All based on the 2 last workouts*

Others, pls comment if i have got anything wrong so i can learn too

Hey bro.

My 2 cents.

Squats - what I see is, you are bending knees first during your descend. Try to learn the "hinge" at the hip side. Unhinge (ass / butt goes to the back) your hips, and then knees down after that. On squats, it's not the knees first that make you go downwards, it's your hips, lower back, and then knees. Like how you take a shit on the toilet bowl. Don't know how to explain, haha.

Bench Press - the bar path is never straight. Don't worry about it. They say it's almost like a J.

Bend over row - this looks like you are working out only the upper back / shoulders. Try to bend up a bit more and then do your rows.

Cheers.

Remember "Ass back first" then go down.

I am super glad that you started. Keep it up. Keep that hunger and learn the form. I am still learning and the hunger you have now will bring you a long way in every aspect. I know it did that for me.

Some of my personal q's that worked for me which might not be for you.

Squat - Put the bar latch a hole lower. So that you do not need to tip toe when you unrack. Go under the bar, tighten your shoulder blade, stabalise the bar before unracking. Don't rush into unrack as unstable bar on your back can be dangerous and energy wasting trying to stabalise it off your back. Always reset ie exhale out at the top and inhale brace core at the top before going down again. I wouldn't worry too much about foot positioning. I just squat as if I am squatting without anybar. Squat should feel natural. Start with the feeling of sitting down. When you have this feeling your ass will drive you down. Keep natural spine whenever you drive up.

OHP - Currently looks fine to me. Mark Riptoe even asked his trainee to shrug up their traps. Don't hyper extend your back when the weight gets heavier. I know I did that.

BP - I still suck at it. I am still learning what leg drive is. But I arch my back slightly, tighten my lats and let the bar briefly touch my chest. The reason is that ur upper body is like your heels when the body force load on the heels. The bar now is your body's weight.

Rows - I for some reason can't do pendelay row like you did. I only can go as low as I can while I row. Just remember to pull back not with ur hands but your back. Feel the back and not your hands. Else you will work on bicep only. To help you feel I would do some light face pull targetting the back before I row to get more mind muscle connection.

DL - The pulling up seems alright but I think you still feel weird during negative. When you go down it is not necessary to go down slow. However it shall not be free fall. If you find your knees is in the way, work on your hamstring flexibility. During negative you unconciously moved the knees forward. If your knees are at the position when you started which do not block your bar path when you pull up, it should not block you on negative. Always reset your brace and grip every rep. And oh. To me the plate stack looks too high. The next time when you go to 20kg plates a side you will have to adjust the feel again. Set up one bar with 20kg plates. Then another one with your weight. Align the 2 bars centre to center so that bothe bars only are at approximately the same height.

No problem, after I looked at your video again, if you noticed, your knees are also too far front (but some people just can't help it due to their bone structure) - if you do "ass back first" it won't be so front.
Learn to balance your weight on your back heel.

Similarly drive up with the weights on the back of your foot.

Squats - better. Your legs are quite long, so you may need some time to get used to sit back. I'm quite tall as well, so took me a while too once my legs are strengthened. But yea, practise it at home against a wall for example, or a chair.

OHP - looking good.

Deadlift - I think the steps should be lift up with your body first, using your hips to drive the weight to your foot heel, (ass back again so that your knees are not in the way of the bar going up), and then only your legs straighten.

Getting better

Squat - stick yr butt out first like this shape '>' before descent.

Deadlifts- i still think yr using yr hands to lift the weights. Try going heavier as light weight does not really show yr true form. U shud be able to do at least 60kg judging by ur video
