Apparently nobody has seen the flaws in the 2 vids I'd posted ?

Tempo is all wrong = too fast on the negatives
Not just if I'd wanted to do this for hypertrophy purposes, but also if this was meant to be a speed lift, since then wt would have needed to be lower yet and concentric part much faster & eccentric (negative) part slower.

Position is all wrong too = bar too far in front of body, shoulders go over the bar instead of staying behind.. shins need to be scraped by the bar etc etc.

It's really weird how all of this becomes suddenly so visible once I see myself on a video , while for all those years I couldn't see what was wrong for myself when doing it..It's easy to look at others in the gym and see where they go wrong, but it's like you're blind to your own flaws. Still can't get over it how strange this is. Not that I'm unwilling to change patterns but it's simply blindness when it comes to 'proprioception' .
If anyone here has access to a camera that can make vids of yourself doing lifts, by all means have it done.. I should learn myself to do it, as it reminded me again how much I need to do this again for at least half of my exercises to get proper feedback.
