    I'd say you've gotten everything you need regarding pointers.

    My 2 cents from the video on deadlift is to focus on activating/ tighten your hamstrings, kinda lika your lifting with your backlegs.
    I didn't see clearly, but you seem to go with back first and legs second - that is something your don't want in 1 rm.
    It should be a smooth flow, and you will activate muscles you have never felt before if you do it correctly.
    Look up and chest up, breath in to be tight before lift and make sure that you never lean backwards at end to risk injury on vertebrae.

    Squat looks great! Focus on the breathing before the lift, not during. Core tight, Chest up and look up here as well and stay tight.
    Find a nice place for the bar on your traps (never on neck) and elbows back to keep it steady.

    It's kind of weird but i can't seem to use my legs on the first rep pretty much only after idk why(i do Tg DL) so maybe there is something wrong with my form on 1st rep and i adjust on 2nd?
    Also i was trying to low bar so shouldn't the bar be put on my rear delts?

    The first says that each rep is a complete action, identical to the one before and the one after. Setup, drive, lowering all the same. People that do this generally reset after each rep - it can be subtle but it will be there.

    The second says that once you get started, you don't stop moving. In this case, the first rep is different than the ones that come after it. You will frequently see people that follow this pattern bouncing their weight.


    Which do you do? If you have to adjust your form, then it sounds like you follow the second method. You may need an impartial witness to watch you do a set to get a clear answer.
    I ate a N.Was talking about touch n go deadlifts so 2nd method.I don't like 'true deadlifts' i feel like i cannot give enough of what i have and also i feel that TnG deadlifts are better for building muscle.

    If you're going for reps in a workout then touching the deadlift all the way to the floor and starting the set up all over again for each rep is kind of foolish you can keep your body locked in tight lower as much as comfortable and bring it up to a lock up

    like a bench press to technically be legal has to touch your chest pause then lockout.

    But when going for reps it's kind of a foolish thing to do going to complete lock out each rep so we just touch and go keep that chest loaded the whole time I lockout give you a break in this particular exercise
