Squats

The good

    Questions and areas for improvement

    • My elbows are really far back. Now that I lean forward more and have the weight resting on my traps, maybe I should try bending my wrists a bit more and not pushing my elbows back so far while still making sure that my wrists aren't taking more load.

    Bench

      Questions and areas for improvement

      • Look at from an angle and inspect the angles of elbows and forearms in motions.
      • Where should I grip the bar in my palm.

      Row

      The good

        Questions and areas for improvement

        • "Pack" shoulders back before positive motion? The stronglifts site says definitely: "NO!" Squeeze armpits and raise chest but don't pull shoulders back.
        • Try to move a bit faster both up and down. Still controlled but concentrate on adding a little more velocity and pace throughout the set.
