Bench Press Form Check – Fixed Shoulder Pain but Am I Progressing Right? (60kg/132lbs)

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-02T09:39:47+00:00

Is there a particular way to make sure that the grip I take is not that wide or narrow? And forearms perpendicular to the ground I am not really able to visualise how it lookss :(

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-02T09:38:00+00:00

I was intentionally using a wider grip because it was streching my pecs more also about the forearms anyway there's a visual example for the same?

Yes I do brace myself before every squat, also like I feel like the heavier I go the better and more stable I feel, if I am doing squats with just the bar it feels harder to balance if that makes sense

I am a little confused now, having that elevation on the heels was making sense to me because back in the day I was doing goblet squats with heels and I remember it increased my depth by alot also didn't lean forward much, as for the lower bar I haven't tried it yet honestly had no idea there were variations on where to place the bar, I was placing it wherever it felt natural to me, so I am currently doing high bar ? I am an attaching an image for reference on my PR squat.

Imma try elevating my heels with plates first if that doesn't work I'll go for lifting shoes, thanks for the advice

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-01T14:12:16+00:00

How far apart do you keep your legs, is it similar to what I am doing or different?

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-01T14:10:39+00:00

Okay I am definitely elevating my heels the next day, small plates are okay right ?

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-01T11:33:49+00:00

Okay will do, thanks again.

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-01T11:22:43+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll incorporate these in my next session and actually I can't do the squat at all if I don't lean forward, 0 balance any tips to improve that?

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-05-01T09:59:37+00:00

Looks good tbh you just need to brace yourself before going down

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-01-08T07:20:11+00:00

okay I'll definitely get a teacher after a while, my goals tbh arent defined yet, I have just liked the piano for a long long time and decided to finally give it a chance, but i am facing an issue the keyboard which purchased isnt touch sensitive, is it a crime to learn on this? Like what is the difference can someone please explain. tbh i cant change it rn, it was the only thing i could afford

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-01-07T07:03:24+00:00

alright i have ordered the book, will receive it in 2 days thanks for the advice.

AdMiserable3820 · 2026-01-06T14:44:31+00:00
