Proper form and technique sources

dirtnap63

Anyone want to share some sites or sources of proper lifting technique instruction?
I found this one http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/benching-with-the-pecs.html very helpful. I've probably made more progress in the last month using this technique than I did in the six months of lifting before that. (thanks for the reco SideSteel!)

I like Mark Rippetoe's videos for the basic barbell techniques. Check him out on Youtube.

My personal preference is Dave Tate for bench press over Rippetoe however I still think Rip's info is legit and this is really just a personal preference on my part.

Re: This title, I think you and DrMerc should do a video series called "So You Think You Can Troll".

In addition to the above, I quite like this page for deadlifting. http://powerliftingacademy.com/the-deadlift-exercise-guide/

My new powerlifter friend just told me to watch all these. I've seem the squat and bench (Sidesteel sent me the bench a couple of weeks ago) before but I'm watching again.

I prefer this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpwnUA5qMe0 135lb woman benching 300lb.

She actually has a decent instructional video - it's pretty good for the basics.

This guys youtube channel is probably the best squatting resource on the interwebs,

As much as I love eliteFTS and their stuff is awesome, some of it is geared towards people who will eventually powerlift in lifting gear (squat suits, bench shirts etc) , so not all of it is totally applicable to your newbie lifter. Still good stuff though

Thanks everyone for all of these. Now I've got some homework to do.

Last night I watched the "so you think you can bench" series. This morning I used some of the techniques I learned and I CRUSHED my bench press, as well as incline press. They almost felt effortless. I can't wait to watch the others. Thanks again to all for your reccomendations.

BusyRaeNOTBusty

Nice! The bench really helped me too.

I just got a big new PR on deadlift after making minor minor changes due to the deadlift video.

Thanks for sharing this. Ever since my surgery, I've used a more quad dominant stance. I watched these last night and reassessed my form this morning.

Much appreciated.

Definitely need to look at some of these. My knee is killing me, so I'm obviously doing something wrong with my squats. I've watched the Rippetoe videos, but I guess I'm missing something. I'll need to check out all the other sources.
