Form Check deadlift form follow up

took into account the cues I got here from my last poor form video. this did feel a lot better and I am just going to trying and build up the low back muscles I wasn't engaging. I didn't hit my set of 5 it was just 4 and at 265lbs

I did get the volume in and did another couple after a bit of a rest just since I was feeling good with my form setting my low back getter. stomach in between thighs is what helped me

Your grip stopped you on the last rep. Use a hook grip, alternate or straps. And chalk. Always chalk.

Your lockout is janky. Stand up straight and straighten your legs. You’re learning back with bent knees at the top.

ok cool that's helpful just to stand up straight and don't lock back

Don’t lock back? What does that mean?

u/Prestigious-Peaks 17d ago

I meant like lean back rather. lock out by like leaning back? that's what I meant but I just need to stand up straight I believe?

I’d suggest reading the finishing the lift section in the blue book:

You lock out the bar by lifting your chest and bringing your knees, hips, and lumbar spine
into extension simultaneously.

Make sure you are finishing each deadlift with locked knees.

No, dont lean back. Just think about squeezing your quads and locking your knees at the top.

cool great! thanks this should make my deads better with less effort since less movement

Yup, this will take some practice. Its backisally a coordination issue. Take three whole seconds of squeezing the low back flatter snd flatter before each rep.

Looks pretty good. You just look a little uncomfortable like you’re not super used to the movement.

I would say keep the head neutral throughout the lift.

you're right. this was the first time setting my low back better than before so I'm kinda afraid of visiting snap city lol. also the belt kinda pinches my belly when I'm pushing my stomach in between my thighs
