Deadlifting 140kg

[Laurataylor573]

Don't know if anyone is interested. I wanted to post this on my bodyspace but because I am completely useless with technology I don't know how.

My form is not very good but think it has improved since. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Embedded for you

I truly don't say this to be mean or anything of that nature, but your form is not good at all. You are much better off going with a lower weight and maintaining perfect form.
With this form, you are bound to hurt your back. You're thoracic and lumbar regions are not in their neutral position, you are obviously rounded and your shoulder are dropped. You only have one back, so protect it.

I know my form is not good, this was a one rep max and I have only lifted this amount 3 times in my life. Your right my form is much better with lower weights.

still pretty neat tho id b proud haha.. but i definitely not risking it i have bad lower back so definitely lower weight high reps for me

Yeah your form made me cringe (it's pretty standard to have a tiny bit of rounding on a 1rm but that was just OW), but good job on the weight, no way I could even get that an inch off the ground. What's 140k, like 310lbs? At what weight does your form start to slip? If you can rep 2+ plates with good form that's pretty good.

[Laurataylor573]

Will normally manage 10 reps at 100kg, 6-8 at 120kg but form starts to slip at around 130kg. Yeah 140kg is around 310.

OMG, please don't do that again! Drop the weight and work on your form, my back was wailing just watching you!!

Okay, I think we've established that was an ugly rep. Not just the back rounding (though that's obv what most people are cringing about), but right away I noticed that you did not set up correctly.

This is a GREAT video to watch about setting up the deadlift:


Some people are higher hipped deadlifts, DiscDoggie I believe on this forums is one of them. However, unless you have a REALLY good reason for doing so I would not start with my hips that high. You've basically made the movement all back, and since your back cannot support the movement it's bending like a wet noodle. Not good! Congrats on your 1RM, not it's time to push the ego aside and spend more time concentrating on form.

GL!

EDIT: Here's a good example of a max attempt that isn't "picture perfect" but not "omg what is she doing???"

Get your backside lower to the ground, you start off very high. I would also say to look forward when you're about to lift because that helps with keeping your back straight. That's a great video illiniStrive has posted.

I'm not entirely sure because of the angle of your video but it looks as if one of your hands is outside your leg and one is inside. Are you doing regular DLs or Sumo DLs?

Overall though, you clearly have decent strength so once you get your technique corrected i don't see why you won't be able to nail that one.

I can't even move 100kg. Impressive!
