I’m so glad you all liked the first Fix Your Form video! I thought it might be helpful to demonstrate ways I see people doing exercises wrong, and point out how to fix those mistakes. Based on some of your requests, here are three more “form fixes” for these three exercises – Good Mornings, Cable Glute Kickbacks and One-Arm Dumbbell Rows.
Let me know what else you’d like to see and I might shoot it in the next one 🙂
I would love to see you show us how to do squats using the Smith Machine. I always hurt my neck doing these.
Log in to replyNicole, Great video!! Could you please consider performing a proper way to perform a deadlift vatiation to target mostly the hamstrings, and not so much the lower back. Thanks!
Log in to replyYes, please please please!!!
Log in to replyThanks Nicole! I am very excited for you upcoming e-book and contest! Can I mark my calendar? 😉 no pressure, have a couple more weeks for my current program, can extend and wait for yours to come out!
Log in to replyThanks Nicole! Love these how to videos!
Log in to replyHmmmm, I need to check my cable kickbacks form I think. Another great video!
Would it be possible to see the correct form of a sumo squat (particularly the knees) and maybe the EZ bar skull crushers. I think my elbows are wrong on those.
Thank you Nicole! Oh – and Happy Easter! 🙂
Log in to replyExcelent!!! Thank you! I was doing kick backs the wrong way, locking my resting leg and doing the movement incorrectly.
Log in to replyThis was great, Nicole. I would love to see one that includes barbell and dumbbell shoulder presses and delts. Thank you for doing these.
Also maybe for future. Selfie instruction. Yours are always perfect!!!!!!! It takes me at least 10 times before I think I got it. Lol. And then I still don’t have it.
Log in to replySeconded on instructions for the perfect fitness selfie 🙂
Log in to replyThank you so much, Nicole! This is extremely helpful! For the next video, please consider the stiff leg deadlift (with barbell) 🙂
Log in to replyThese videos are a fantastic idea, thank you so much 🙂
Would love to see barbell bent over row. I find this is an exercise that is done wrong a lot and can be quite hard to get right
Log in to replyI’d love to see a few exercises:
1. seated cable curls
2. Rear delt flies (either on a seated chest fly or on an incline bench with dumbbells)
3. cable pull-throughs
Thanks!!
Log in to replyHi Nicole,
Is that a heart rate monitor you have on your wrist? If so, what brand?
Thank you!

Hi Nicole!!! Thank you for those three fix your form demos. For the cable glute kickback, does it matter it you point your toe or push back with your heel? The next question I have isn’t for fixing form, but what exercises do you use to build your rear delts?
Log in to replyThank you,
Lisa Crowther
Either way is fine since the strap is on your ankle. My advice would be to try it both ways and do the one you feel in your glute the most. Rear delts: rear delt fly, face pulls, reverse pec deck- check my shoulder workout videos for more ideas 🙂
Log in to replyAnother great video, thank you Nicole. My trainer I work with is always very strict with form, as he should be. Your videos are so great to go back & watch over again. They help reinforce my “mind muscle connection” and I can visualize the correct form when performing the exercise. These are so valuable. Thanks again, this is awesome.
Log in to replySo excited every time I see a new installment of these “fix it” videos or your Q & A’s pop up! Would love to see good form on tricep dumbell kickback and a deadlift (either with dumbells or with olympic bar).
Log in to replyKeep up the great content Nicole!
Hi Nicole, idk if you’ve done it on a video before but could you possibly demonstrate sumo dead lifts with the barbell? Thank you!
Log in to replyThese are awesome! Thank you!! Loved the shoulder video and incorporated some new moves 🙂
Log in to replyThe one I see being done wrong a lot is a cable crunch, love to see your take on technique. Thanks x
I would love to see some proper form demonstrated on ab moves that are commonly performed improperly. Thanks!
Log in to replyCable crunches next.
Log in to replyPerfect! Thank you. Great demos. So helpful.
Log in to replyGreat video Nicole, thank you! Can you please show Ticep Dips on a bench? I don’t do them because I’m scared I’m going to hurt my shoulders but they look like a good exercise
Log in to replygreat! very helpful. Maybe deadlift next
Log in to replyI second the cable crunches request!
Log in to replyHow about a video on how to improve on pull ups.
Log in to replyThank you very much for the advice. I hope you’ll be continuing this series in the future.
Log in to replyI would be interested in an instructional video on how to perform incline dumbbell bench presses. On a flat bench, I try not to go too low because I don’t want to involve my shoulders too much or even hurt them. I assume the same thing applies for the incline bench? However, I seem not to be able to get the right angle. I might get confused by the inclince.
Someone else mentioned the deadlift. I second that. I’d be interested on seeing how to do a tradtitional deadlift the correct way.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Thank you for including cable kickbacks! I love these videos. Some other suggestions I have:
Smith machine squat
Log in to replyBent over barbell row with over and under hand grips.
Hi Nicole,
Log in to replyThese are awesome videos. It would be great to see how to do a cable seated low row and barbell deadlifts.
Dumbbell shoulder presses (including single-arm) would be helpful to me. Although I am making progress in building my shoulders, my infraspinatus muscle has lately become painful during these exercises and occasionally limits the number of reps I can do. I think it may be due to something I am not being mindful about regarding my arm angle/elbow position. Thank you!
Log in to replyHi Nicole,
I’ve recently added the good mornings to my hamstrings focused leg day and was wondering if doing stiff legged deadlifts and good mornings in the same workout was a good idea.
I’m also interested in the ideal range of motion for lying and standing leg curls. Obviously I saw you doing them in your previous leg video but a detailed explanation would be great.
Thanks
Log in to replyHi Nicole! Is there an easy way to get into position when doing reverse pec dec flyes? We have 2 different machines at my gym and sometimes I struggle with getting comfortable in the machine and confidently hitting my rear delts. Thanks!
Log in to replyKeep your arms parallel to the floor- your hands should be even with your shoulders when extending back. Not too high or too low
Log in to replydead-lift variations please please please!
ps awesome video!
Log in to replyDumbell rear delt flys and tricep pushdowns
Log in to replyThank you! I was always so unsure with good mornings but feel like I can go for it now! Thank you!
Log in to replyThank you!! I knew my form was wrong on my 1 arm rows – and I was moving too fast through my cable kick backs!! Awesome! I’d like to see any of the following as I feel my form is wrong every time i do them!
1. Standard Deadlift using Olympic bar (I worry about my form on the way back down)
2. Cable pull throughs
3. Split squat on Smith Machine
Thanks again!! Love all your help, makes a world of difference!
Log in to replyHi Nicole! What are your thoughts on weightlifting belts? I’m a figure competitor and think it’s time to incorporate one, as my lower back and core are constantly sore no matter how much core/ab exercises I’ve done in the past 20+ years of lifting consistently with good form – any insight from you would be hugely appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
Log in to replyI would love to see a video on stiff legged dead lifts. Thank you.
Log in to replyWould love to see cable crossovers and deadlifts please. 🙂
Log in to replyRack Pull, barbell hip thrust, T bar row
Log in to replyBicep curls. Very simple excersise that can be done wrong easily. I used to struggle with bicep curls and mind muscle connection. My shoulders would take over. I really had to work for my baby biceps. Lol
Log in to replyWould love to see a video on deadlifts: conventional, straight leg, and sumo
Log in to replyRequest for Bulgarian split squats and single leg Romanian deadlifts. Love these episodes! Thank you!
Log in to replyVariations of deadlifts.
Log in to replyEEEEEEKKKKK! I got so excited when I seen these new videos! Please keep them coming! I’d LOVE to see pull throughs. I see so many people say it’s their favorite glute workout and I just can not activate my glutes to a burn on light or heavy weight. Also, skull crushers as I see so many people confuse that
Log in to replyDear Nicole,
Log in to replyon db rows, I use straps but still find myself having trouble with my grip?
Any advice you could share?
Thank you, I really appreciate all you do!
Love, Michaela
