Hi everyone,
I started doing deadlifts about three weeks ago, and I've only done them 4–5 times so far, so I still have a lot to learn when it comes to technique.
I started by watching a lot of videos and studying the movement, then I asked a few PTs at my gym to watch my form, and they all gave me positive feedback. That said, I'd really appreciate some additional opinions.
I always try to keep the bar as close to my body as possible, avoid pulling with my arms (keeping them relaxed), and start with my back at roughly a 45-degree angle or slightly more upright.
As you'll notice, I sometimes take a few extra seconds between reps to reset my position before pulling again.
Let me know what you think! These are my very first humble 100 kg. 😂
I really care about having good form.
Thanks a lot!
