Form check: SL 5x5 Workout A - M/19/6'1/142lb

Form check: SL 5x5 Workout A - M/19/6'1/142lbSquat: 65 KG / 145 lb Set 1, Set 2, Set 3 (Camera fell down), Set 4 (failure), Set 5 (failure) The main problem I have with it is that I get some lower back- and groin ache right after the exercise, though it only persists for about 2 hours or so. The failures in this workout are due to me not feeling like my back could take it. My shoulders get somewhat fatigued afterwards, though I have been trying to fix this by pointing my elbows further down for a couple of weeks. The problem is mostly gone, but I cannot point my elbows down more without the bar sliding down my back: This is the most I can manage. I don't really "feel" it in my glutes during this exercise at all, and though I have heard that Squats aren't supposed to train your glutes all that much I still feel concerned that I basically don't feel any burn at all there. I do feel my hamstrings somewhat, though it does feel like my groin area is taking the biggest hit from this exercise. I did get pain in my left knee 2 weeks ago, though this problem has not reoccurred thus far. Overhead press: 28 KG / 62 lb Set 1, Set 2, (Set 3-5 lost due to camera falling down :( ) I haven't noticed any problems myself here. I did over arch my back a while ago, though I think that I've fixed that by squeezing my glutes during the exercise. I did fail tree times at 30 KG / 66 lb, though I think this is mostly due to the Squats tiring out my shoulders. Deadlift: 65 KG / 145 lb Set 1 I'm gonna be totally honest here and say that I really don't "get" this exercise. I feel it a lot more in my lower back than my glutes, which I think is bad. When I try lower my but I usually just become weaker. Any advise here is appreciated :) Correction: I weigh 70 KG / 154 lb submitted by /u/ywecur [link] [comments]
