Deadlift form check

[tbone89]

Ok this is a light single to check form. I know I need to try to get my hips lower at the start and drive with my legs more. Any help is appreciated.

From what I could see in that video you lifted your hips and locked your knees before the bar even cleared your knees. Doing this reduces the ability to drive with your legs and pull with your hips. You are basically doing a stiff-legged DL from the knee-up in this vid.

Thanks for the reply. What would be the best way to fix this

R&D my man. Watch video, video yourself, correct form, practice, practice, practice. For this specific problem work on keeping your butt down and creating a "block" in your core to maintain the angle of your back and help bring it up at the beginning of the lift, instead of relying on hips to break the bar.
