Posting form check videos

[LazerTag]

Where is the best place to post form checks? I posted in Reddit stronglift5x5 and formcheck subreddits. Also posted on my fitness pal. I have a trainer, but would like additional comments. Thanks!

Try the misc if you need feedback from a 5th source.

Thanks, but if I could find one good online source, that would be all I need…. I can’t get anyone to reply so far…

I’d get a new trainer if you don’t trust his/her in-person feedback.

That’s not an option. Let’s pretend I don’t have access to trainers. Does that make my question easier to answer?

Much easier.

Get a coach.

What is the difference between a coach and a trainer?

Not really, tbh it raises a few different Qs.

Where did you learn to deadlift? I’m guessing someone was nice enough to help you…

I don’t think so but it was a long time ago. I’m pretty sure I just figured it out by trying to lift weight without hurting myself.

I honestly don’t know the best place to post form checks, to answer your original Q. However, if you just post one here on the Exercise forum rather than asking where the best place to post one is, you might get some responses. I’d keep any accompanying backstory short, in case that’s why you didn’t get responses on other sites.

I learned in my parents' garage. Got to about 300lbs with no help. The internet was a bunch of bulletin boards back then.

That bar had zero knurling. It's still in their (different) garage.

Rippetoe has a forum.

Why do you want all these opinions?

One person’s form is going to look different from the next.

Proprioception, most people don't have this and never develop it beyond very basic movements.

Proprioception, otherwise known as kinesthesia, is your body's ability to sense movement, action, and location. It's present in every muscle movement you have. Without proprioception, you wouldn't be able to move without thinking about your next step.

Look in the mirror OP. Look at YT vids of people that are advanced and doing what you are trying to do. And look at the mirror again. A while back, I thought I had straddle front lever, then I went to one of my gyms where I can do it and look at my form in the mirror....NOPE. I can now though and know the feel.

Kinda had no choice back then since there was no YT or Internet in its current form. If you didn't know someone who could show you, the most instruction you got were some b&w still photos or stick figure drawings in a book called Fig. 1a & Fig 1b.
