video of smith machine squat and rdl form check update 01/06/2011[/QUOTE]
Make sure you're keeping your spine in line when doing both of those exercises. On the squats it looks as if your looking down or at the weights when you should be looking straight ahead. It looks like you corrected your form some on the deads by not locking your knees but again make sure your spine is in line (I can't tell if it is or not). You want to kind of stick your butt out and your shoulders back as well as keeping your neck straight so as your are going down you go from looking ahead to looking at the floor. Keep up the good work!
I was glad to come across this thread because I often feel like an old man on here. I don't post much, I am mostly just a lurker.
If you want a good solid workout here is one to try, it's the one I am using now.

Basketball has taken its toll on my ankles but lifting has done about everything else in. I have tendinitis in both shoulders, an achy back and my knees give out on me when playing sometimes. I almost wish I could start over and pay more attention to my form than the weights I put up.
i was looking at the safety stopper so i don't slam or bounce the weight against it... i think if it lower it one more down it is still safe but won't be close enough so i don't have to look anymore...
thanks for the suggestions and comments. my squat/rdl both are all work in progress. i have an updated one from jan 10th that i'll upload soon... hate to hear that you have joint pain from weights. do you think there was more you could've done for prehab/rehab? was it maybe lack of enough warm ups and stretching or does it simply come with the territory? this is the first time in my life i've lifted steadily... weights are all still pretty new to me. i re-read what you wrote and it seem like you said your form might have caused some of these issues? how old are you know? yah this forum seems to majority youth.

smith machine squats
50 kg 1x8 (warm up)
90kg 1x8 atg
95kg 2x8 atg (pr!) unlike previously i always made weight adjustments in 10kg's i did 5kg this time. the extra 5 was felt big time! quite challenging as the vid will show!
110kg 1x8 1/2 squat
115kg 1x8 1/4 squat
i took some vids but haven't u/l them yet. i moved my feet back so that it is more inline with the weights... more like freeweights motion i think.
rdl
40kg 1x8 (warm up)
80kg 3x8
tooks some vids, will u/l soon. worked on correcting the form... i'm gonna get me some gloves. it's not exactly fully grip strength... i don't have that much meat on my palm. i feel some pain literally because there isn't enough padding and the pressure of the weight against my bone is what's causing a little bit of pain. don't wanna roughen up my hands too much or the ladies might complain. lol.
didn't wanna miss my bball time so that was it for the workout.
just u/l the footage...
