Hey everyone, here are 5 rep sets of my squat (205 lbs) and bench press (150 lbs). Can I get a form check?
Squat: feels good and I’m still improving linearly. Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Bench: feels terrible, the first rep here went up really easy, but then my form completely fell apart. Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Thanks
Squat: The bar is moving slightly forward when you are descending. I had the same issue a few months ago and it became a problem as I got closer to my 1 rep max. I worked on descending slower and focused on the balance in my feet.
Bench: Your foot placement looks too narrow and far from your body. Try a slightly wider stance and bringing your feet back at least 6” closer to your body.
It looks like you are starting the descent by flaring your elbows out. Try starting to move the bar down while keeping you elbows in more.
This is a good bench resource that might explain things better:
