    Exercises is for how to do a lift, what to swap it for, and what good-enough form looks like.

    Thread ideas

    • "Form check: conventional deadlift, 315x3"
    • "Low-bar or high-bar for a tall lifter?"
    • "Shoulder hates flat bench. What can I swap in?"
    • "How do I actually feel my lats on pulldowns?"
    • "Hip thrust setup without a bench"
    • "Is my squat deep enough?"
    • "The one cue that fixed your bench"

    Form-check template

    Lift + weight x reps:
    Height / weight:
    How long you've done this lift:
    What feels off:
    Photos or video link:
    

    Filming tips: side view, camera about hip height, whole body in frame. Use a working set, not a max attempt. You can upload stills to your post. Video links work once links unlock for you (after your first few posts).

    Do

    • Give one or two cues, not twenty.
    • Say what you'd check if you can't tell from the clip.
    • Share the swaps that worked for you and why.

    Don't

    • Don't film other people at the gym without asking.
    • Don't diagnose pain. "My back hurts when I deadlift" needs a professional first.
    • Don't roast anyone's form. Everyone was a beginner once.
