Deadlift form check

[QueenIsKing]

Skip to 1:18 for start of lift

I have a feeling I'm not lifting with correct form, even though it feels completely natural when I'm doing it. I notice that my back rounds a bit near the latter part of the lift. Is that much round ok, or not? Also I notice that my back is almost parallel to the ground when I start pulling. I tried starting in a position where my back is more angled at the start, but I can't lift nearly as much weight in this position, and it just doesn't feel natural. So I was wondering if this starting position is ok, or if I should lower the weight and have my back more angled at the start.

Hips too damn high.

practice getting your hips lower with a lighter weight, once you learn to utilise leg drive your weights will go up a lot more smoothly

really try to drive through the floor with your heels - if you're wearing shoes which aren't flat soled then try going in socks

Hips too high, chest too low. Hips and shoulders should rise at the same rate until the hips are completely extended. Probably lack of quad/glute/postural back strength as there is very little knee extension occuring and your hips are starting so high. Your triple extension is all phucked up, because you aren't really extending three joints.

from what i can see, pinch your shoulder blades back, with your chest higher which will also make your hips lower.

Looks wrong.. bro I would probably decrease the weight if I was you.

what everybody else said...

something that really helped me was "pulling slack out of the bar", getting your body tight and pulling into the floor gives your hamstrings alot of tension and could straighten your back/lower your hips in the process.
