    Exclamation Deadlift Form Question

    So I seem to have a problem with my deadlifts. My back keeps rounding on the way up. All the weight is on my heels; my toes even come off the ground slightly. I keep the bar against my shins the whole time; they are a little bloody after 4 sets. I keep my head up and really try to concentrate on the form, but my back just keeps rounding. During the exercise, I feel my glutes, hamstrings, spinal erectors, and quads contract. What could be the issue here? It is my last movement of my back workout and my abs are pretty fatigued by that point, maybe that could be it? Should I try to engage my core muscles more? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Don't wanna snap my $h1t up! Thanks guys!

    Take a really deep breath. Also get a video up, we can judge it then, sometimes it just feels like its rounding but once you see it on vid you know for sure.
    You know you are a powerlifter when:
    You check your squat depth when sitting on the toilet.
    You work on perfecting your squat explosiveness when getting off the toilet.

    try a rep with less weight. actually i would say try a rep with just the bar. look in a mirror ( assuming you gym has some ) and take note of the form. then keep adding weight while still keeping good form. it took me ages to get over it but i finally realized doing a lot of weight with crap form is not as impressive as doing less weight with the right form. when i dead i also like to squeze my back muscles ( the ones in the middle cant think of the name haha )

    Don't have the bar against your shins. I was doing this too and had the same problem, but then I sat the bar so it was sitting just behind my toes when I looked down at it, when I lifted it, it was missing my knees by a little bit.
