your DL... you sit back too much and the bar is too far from your shins, get your feet under the bar standing straight up, look down until the bar is right on top of your shoe laces , bend over without bending your knees grab the bar
sit back tighten up, chest out , squeeze your traps, lock it and pull
shoulder should be just in front of the bar

GHR fail
The embedding isn't working from my phone, sorry.
After hearing and watching Bodyhard do these undecided to give it a go. Holy ****. Talk about humbling!!! The vid is a good training tool because there is no mirror by the seated calf machine to check my form, and we all know it seems like we're going soooo low/deep, and then we see the vid. . And I see I gotta keep my torso straighter. These work my hams better than ANY hamstring movement I've ever attempted. Again, holy ****. My old gym had an "official" GHR station, and I could do those. These were MUCH harder. Chaos also showed a vid of him and his gF doing them and her form was flawless. I became so inspired; I WILL be performing impeccable reps in 30 days or less.

Your form looks good on squats from where I sit. The camera angle was weird. Like I was looking up from the ground. Set it higher next time.
The pussy pad? I never used one but of you feel you need it....
As you build more "beef" around your lower traps you'll find you need it less. That's another thing: could be the angle but it looks like the bar is sitting on your neck instead of your traps. Try dropping it several inches.
You appeared to power it up nicely.Sheriff John Brown always hated me

This week was actually a lot easier than previously. My problem was/is that I keep bucking in at the knees so I don't feel like I'm doing them properly. Maybe my weaker muscles have caught up so I'll try and add more weight.
Yep.... I'm in the process of upping my calories! Food glorious food.
I had my phone resting on a step so it was low. I really want to get my form correct so appreciate the comments! Hopefully my back muscles respond with the extra food.

For me squats are a bit of a step by step learning process. you get one piece down then work on the next. You learn more and more ways to perfect them as you go.
Deep breathe before the rep, push your belly out so that you are stable and steady when you begin to push back up. As you come back up push your knees out. If you don't push your knees away from each other you'll feel like you are crumbling when coming up.

One day when i open my own gym it will only be playing live dead or Jerry.
In gyms I've worked at in the past, they used those pay-per-month pre-set stations. And which station would be dependent on what time of day it was so which demographic the crowd was most likely to be.
Early mornings? Seniors. Easy listening.
Afternoon? High school and college students. Popular and club station.
Late night? The hard cores. Angry metal stuff.0Sheriff John Brown always hated me

DD and Kimm: If you can, you might want to rig up a thick resistance band for assistance on the GHR. At least that's what I do to allow myself full ROM. For what it's worth, I've only seen one person at my gym do them properly without some form of assistance, and this is in a gym where most of the guys deadlift 150-300kg.
Botika: If I were going to worry about just one thing in your squat, it would be upper body tightness. Chest up, face back, pull your elbows into your side (instead of dipping them forwards as you descend) and pull the bar into your back.SQ 172.5kg. BP 105kg. DL 200kg. OHP 62.5kg @ 67.3kg

You're right and it's a great idea, but I'm being completely stubborn. I refuse to use resistance bands, balls, etc...I will take my chances of smashing my face on the floor.
I practice a few sets everyday after my workout and I'm getting much better at them. I'll throw up another vid soon.National Level Competitor (Female BB)
