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.
Nicole, 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!
Yes, please please please!!!
Thanks 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!
Thanks Nicole! Love these how to videos!
Hmmmm, 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! 🙂
Excelent!!! Thank you! I was doing kick backs the wrong way, locking my resting leg and doing the movement incorrectly.
This 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.
Seconded on instructions for the perfect fitness selfie 🙂
Thank you so much, Nicole! This is extremely helpful! For the next video, please consider the stiff leg deadlift (with barbell) 🙂
These 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
I’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!!
Hi Nicole,
Is that a heart rate monitor you have on your wrist? If so, what brand?
Thank you!
Shannon
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?
Thank 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 🙂
Another 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.
So 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).
Keep 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!
These are awesome! Thank you!! Loved the shoulder video and incorporated some new moves 🙂
The 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!
Cable crunches next.
Perfect! Thank you. Great demos. So helpful.
Great 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
great! very helpful. Maybe deadlift next
I second the cable crunches request!
How about a video on how to improve on pull ups.
Thank you very much for the advice. I hope you’ll be continuing this series in the future.
I 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
Bent over barbell row with over and under hand grips.
Hi Nicole,
These 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!
Hi 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
Hi 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!
Keep your arms parallel to the floor- your hands should be even with your shoulders when extending back. Not too high or too low
dead-lift variations please please please!
ps awesome video!
Dumbell rear delt flys and tricep pushdowns
Thank you! I was always so unsure with good mornings but feel like I can go for it now! Thank you!
Thank 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!
Hi 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!!!
I would love to see a video on stiff legged dead lifts. Thank you.
Would love to see cable crossovers and deadlifts please. 🙂
Rack Pull, barbell hip thrust, T bar row
Bicep 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
Would love to see a video on deadlifts: conventional, straight leg, and sumo
Request for Bulgarian split squats and single leg Romanian deadlifts. Love these episodes! Thank you!
Variations of deadlifts.
EEEEEEKKKKK! 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
Dear Nicole,
on 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
