I want to get video of my compound barbell lifts posted for critique. If someone could let me know the ideal camera angles I would really appreciate it. My lifts are:
Big 3
Seated OHP
Front squat
Bent over row
Romanian Deadlift
If limited to one camera angle per movement, I would say the ideal perspective is exactly the same for all lifts. Profile view (from the side), focal point on center of mass (pointed at the torso), perpendicular to the floor (not looking upward or downward), and a focal length that includes your whole body.
Thanks Goldie.
Going to get my squat and bench filmed tonight. Afterwards I just need to overcome my technophobia and master the dark art of posting videos to T-Nation. I’m half-hoping I am doing the movements correctly and half-hoping I am doing them all wrong. As a novice lifter it will benefit me from allowing some more experienced eyes to make an evaluation, regardless of how good or bad my technique is.
