Hey everybody!
I would really like your opinion on my form regarding deadlift. It is something that I have decided to start taking more seriously in attempt to really add some numbers to it. Also, I have ordered a belt (it is on its way in the mail as I type this) but for now I am only using straps. Furthermore, this was my first time ever recording myself in the gym so forgive the poor angle. If you could give me some pointers I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm n00b, but maybe I can help get thread started.
Things I see:
> You're doing a lot of negative work putting the bar down. You should be dropping that **** as fast as possible. It appears you are doing this because you are having a hard time clearling the bar around your knees.
> I see some upper back rounding, particularly in the last rep of the first set.
> Your butt shoots up first in almost all the reps, this should not happen.
You're pretty tall, you may benefit from first trying the sumo DL to make it easier to get the bar to clear your knees.
Good luck.Last edited by DAaaMan64; 05-06-2014 at 03:50 PM.

Feel free to disagree, you would know better. As a n00b, paying attention to form up-and-down became so challenging near max lift that I just managed to hurt my back in over-confidence, not realizing I wasn't doing ****ty negatives.
For the record, I'm just advocating a controlled put-down somewhere around this fast, which is what I typically see speeds in tutorial DL videos.Last edited by DAaaMan64; 05-06-2014 at 01:52 PM.

Speed is fine, but your back is way too rounded, especially on the last three reps. Also your legs are straightening too soon, which is leading to the weight being pulled mainly with your back (and the rounding). I would drop maybe 20-40 lbs and try to get 5 clean reps out.

By the time the bar breaks the floor, your back is almost parallel to the ground though you are trying to start with an inclined back by squatting down a bit. I guess you have proportionately longer legs than torso, you will always have a problem in the sense that your back will do most of the lifting and your legs just don't contribute enough. From this angle it ain't very evident but I think your back will start rounding big time at heavier weights
You gotta try a wider stance out, that's one way of bringing more of your legs to the party. That way you can keep a neutral back, sit back and get your hams, glutes and legs more into the lift
In short, for your proportions you got to disregard some of the conventional advice, experiment with stance width and see for yourself what feels better* Skinny to non skinny transformation crew * - I am gonna effin nail this
