Stop guessing if your lift is right. From deadlift resets to squat depth, learn the cues that prevent injury and actually build strength.

When performing deadlifts for multiple reps, do not rush. I explain why it is critical to reset your form before each repetition to maintain proper technique and prevent back injury.

Your squat starts before you even lift the bar. I demonstrate the correct way to unrack the barbell, explaining how the right bar height and a stable setup are crucial for a strong and safe squat.

The Spoto Press is a key bench press variation for building stability and power. I demonstrate the technique, which involves pausing the bar just above the chest to improve your pushing strength.

Many people perform the dumbbell chest fly incorrectly by keeping their arms too straight. I show you how to slightly bend your elbows to properly engage your chest muscles and avoid shoulder pain.

The shoulder press is a great upper body movement, but bad form can lead to injury. I break down the correct technique and common mistakes to help you train safer and smarter.

Are you just going through the motions with your one-arm rows? I show the difference between using momentum and using controlled movement to actually feel the muscle working and get real results.

If you get neck pain from bent-over rows, you are likely overextending your neck. I demonstrate a better alternative, the chest-supported row, to take the strain off your neck and focus on your back muscles.

This is one of the most common mistakes I see with the lateral shoulder raise. I provide simple cues, like bending your elbow and tilting the dumbbell, to correctly target your shoulders.

If you are doing reverse flys by swinging the weights, you are wasting your time. I show you how to slow down and control the movement to take momentum out of the lift and properly target your rear delts.

Cable kickbacks are great for glutes, but the angle of your kick determines which part of the muscle you are targeting. I demonstrate the difference between kicking back for the gluteus maximus and kicking to the side for the gluteus minimus.

About Master the Lifts: Technique & Form Correction

Most gym injuries don't come from heavy weights; they come from bad setup. Whether it’s your bar height during squats or how you reset between deadlift reps, minor form adjustments are the difference between hitting a new personal record and a trip to the physio. I don’t believe in just moving weight; I believe in moving with intent and proper technique.
