Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.

I need good resources on deadlift form (lemmygrad.ml)

My deadlift form is probably really bad. I would be able to tell if I had any idea what I was doing.

Main problem is that I cannot tell if I am engaging my hamstrings and glutes properly or at all. I do feel a little bit of exertion in my thighs so that is a res flag.

There are a million videos about this on YouTube but it creates a choice paralysis situation for me. Plus the "trainers" at my gym are unqualified and terrible. They have given me advice like "the barbell should touch the nipples during bench press" and "the eyes should be looking down during deadlift".
