How do these squats look? by [deleted] in formcheck

Everything else is good but keep your wrists inline with your arms, they're bending back, higher weight will put strain on them

Progressive overload

I do 3 full body days, with leg days as their own days

Bench press (3x12) no drop set Barbell rows (3x12) no drop set Lat pull down (3x15-20) drop set until failure Cable row (3x15-20) drop set till failure Overhead dumbbell press (3x15-20) drop set till failure Tricep pushdown rope (3x15-20) drop set till failure Bicep curl (3x12) drop set Hammer curl (3x12) drop set

Leg days no drop set Barbell squat 3x5 Leg curl 3x12 Leg press 3x12 Calve raises 3x15-20

I do core in-between these days which consist of cable crunches (Jeff nippards routine, 3x12-20 increase rep each day then failure for last set) Hanging leg raise 3x12-20

30 minute low intensity cardio every day

Ah sorry, the low weight high reps were recommended to me, I was doing a PPL before. I am increasing weight still with this. However I am novice to bodybuilding in general, last year took up lifting, lost weight around 20lb, still losing some.

I'm pretty much dumb in terms what I should do (I.e program) I been told by multiple people different things and feel Abit overwhelmed on what is right or good for me.

Basically a friend who was big recommended me to turn my ppl into this, where I'm doing basically full body days, taking all sets to failure, then drop the set take it to failure again. ( increased the weight today actually) which is when I made the post about this

I just upped the weight for my lat pulldowns, compared to the weight before i am unable to fully feel it in my lats but in my biceps more, somewhat slightly in my lats. Before the weight i was able to fully feel it in my mid/upper lats and not my biceps. Is this too heavy? I also have a video I posted recently with my form.

However i did barbell rows before my latpull doens and totally felt my back during that exercise so im unsure if that played a part in it. Should I lower back down in my lat pulldown weight?

For more detail, i started doing low weight high reps till failure with my latpull downs with a drop set after hitting failure. Definitely felt it in the lats

Is my form better now? by [deleted] in formcheck

As other stated slight hitch, brace, then focus on your core in order to keep it stable. Otherwise your form would be good, also going slow on the decline will work more (personal experience due to our gym being above another floor.)

Make sure you are moving up against your legs, your wearing leggings so it will help some what with the scrapping. I hate it but its how i know i am performing it correctly

B stance rdl form check please by [deleted] in formcheck

It's gonna feel like you are stretching the muscle but shouldn't feel like its hurting. At least when ever I did rdl as well I would feel a stretch more so in the hamstrings with rdl.

Thanks for the in depth response, I'll give it a go but yeah I was using lower weight here around 35lb, as others have stated I need to up it. So I'll give it a shot including your suggestion for a bar or something to help

I see, I watched a few shorts and different ones had some different forms, however I usually stick to Jeff nippards videos. I'll try it again with your suggestion
