    Conventional Deadlift Form Check



    First time recording my deadlift. Just started 3x5 Starting Strength and want to progress with good form to avoid any potential injuries.

    I noticed I have a lot of trouble breaking the bar off the floor and want to make sure doing it correctly. Any criticism is appreciated. Thanks

    Not bad, but you're dangerously close to rounding your lower back, bring your hips down a bit more at the start of the lift.

    so you just started SS and you did 10 rep on 225?

    Hips need to be lower and your back is rounding.

    Get your hips lower. Your rounding your back. I've been doing dead lifts a few weeks and my lower back is sore for a few days every time. But I know it's not injury because I get way lower. as soon as you feel you back round on a rep, don't do any more cuz your tired and wait till next set or just fix form. I watch my side profile in the mirror

    Hips are fine. For me I break off the floor with my back then the legs kick in. When you lower the weight, lower it the same way you raise it. Don't Stiff leg it down. You do have some lower back rounding. Focus on keeping your chest up. Not awful form by any means, but it could improve. For the floor problem find a to work in some sort of deficit deadlifts. For me trying to break it off the floor if I get my hips lower and try to squat it up I will have more rounding and less strength. If I get my hips up higher and focus more on pulling at first it will be stronger and will have less back pain afterwards. You have to experiment to some degree to find the technique that works best for you and your leverages.
