Not bad! One thing I like to keep in mind is to make sure wrists never go higher than elbows. This helps to ensure that elbows driving out and away from you initiates the movement

Idea is to choose a different incline for each day 👍🏼👍🏼

Pretty good! Focus is short position for this systemic weeeek so you could even eliminate the bottom 10% of the ROM. Nice work!

You can tighten up 1/4 reps a bit! Other than that looks good 👍🏼👍🏼

Looks great! Less about torso position and more about position of pelvis- tilting sit bones back away from attachment on back of knees so you get max tension in lengthened position **you are letting the machine bottom out at the end which I wouldnt do** For systemic specifically- don’t need to worry too much about optimizing lengthened position- but would be v good for hypertrophy phases.

Looks great! I would use a counterweight out in front (5-10 lbs) to help make the reps a little smoother 👍🏼👍🏼

Chantal-Joelle Gross for sure- it’s less about how upright you actually are and more about the effort to maintain that nice upright chest!

Additional thought… with any squat pattern you want to make sure knees are tracking over 2nd/ 3rd toe- so turn out as much as needed to keep that alignment 👍🏼👍🏼

These actually look great! If you really sit into each side and feel the stretch that will help you improve ROM over time as your bod is ready. A small counterweight (5-10 lb) in your hands with your arms stretched out in front of you can help you improve ROM as well and keep a super tall chest throughout the movement! Lmk if you have more questions 🥰

For you, it probably doesn’t matter (with your back flexibility) as long as your back is okay with it. Goal is to eventually get butt to heels so as you get better range of motion, you’ll need to extend your spine less
