Technique on Squat/Dead/Bench

Powerlifting
#1

Hi there. I posted this over in meat’s help thread as well, but might as well cross post here for some more varied advice.

Any criticism or advice is welcome

Squat - 3x5x315
Set 1

Set 2

Set 3

Deadlift
1x405

3x365(done after the 405)

Bench
1x265

I’ve since benched 1x300 but don’t have it video’d. I’ve also gotten a lot better at tucking the elbows and benching lower on the chest since this video. It was my first time recording a bench and really opened my eyes to how much I was flaring the elbows, without realizing it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

Everything looks good man. Theres not anything I would change, except of course the bench which you already aknowleged.

#3

looks good man, squats esp. You might not be getting tight enough on the bench, it looks like your wiggling around a bit, and maybe your shoulders aren’t locked in and back, but thats just being picky. You probably already figured out most of it yourself by watching the vids. good work.

I dunno… elbow position doesn’t look bad to me. Most of the big raw benches are done that way. Don’t try to lift lke you’re wearing a shirt if you’re not.

One thing on the bench is try to lock it out before pushing it right back to the rack.
