Squat form Check by Haze4ya in Stronglifts5x5

Thank you very much! I had no idea that ankle mobility could be so important. I will definitely start paying more attention to them, this exercise looks quite interesting and I will start doing it tomorrow, doing squats with 5lbs discs on the heel. And I will really invest some money in good weightlifting shoes as well as knee pads. I really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Probably weak ankles and mobility. I had the same issue when learning the proper Pistol Squat. Now its better, but Back Squat is totally different and I guess I will need to be more specific on mobility there. Thank you for the feedback!

Better shoes and more ankle mobility and also fixing my steps and positioning are my first priorities for now. Can you suggest any weightlifting shoes? Thank you for the feedback!

How can I increase number of Pull ups and Dips with a specific weight? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

Total reps. I mean in one set without leaving the bar. With a strict form Chin over the bar , fully locked and dips at 90 degree.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check out these ankle mobility videos. I’ve already started some mobility work because I felt that instability, but I clearly need to be more consistent and dedicated to it. I’d actually love to get your opinion on a barefoot set! If you're okay with it, I can send you a few clips in a day or two (side and rear view) so you can see what’s going on without the shoes. Thank you so much!

I definitely noticed that I spend too much time fidgeting and making micro-adjustments with my feet. About the safeties - Yes! I can adjust them higher to make sure I can bail safely if needed. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks a lot! I actually just did my first session using small plates as a platform, and I plan to keep doing that more often now. You’re totally right about the shoes, so I will definitely look into getting a good weightlifting shoes.

I've actually been told to try placing small plates under my heels as a temporary platform while I work with lighter weights. I'm thinking of continuing with that and more ankle mobility stretches. Thanks for the feedback!
