Yup those look super-cropped, which is basically bending all the growths at the same height, evening the canopy and light distribution. It is actually high stress since you have to hurt the plant but as long as you didnt break it all the way through, it should be fine. As far as i understand it, you are breaking the outside of the stem which will heal. If you break through the middle part, nutrients cannot flow to the rest of the branch, obviously. Wish I was more technical with scientific names but I think thats the general principle. LST, or Low Stress Training, is where the plant is tied down but not broken.
TLDR your plant looks fine but its not LST
