    Deadlift form critique (vid)

    Can someone criticise my for on the deadlift? I started deadlifting properly around 2 months ago.

    Not too bad. You'll want to arch your lower back some more and let your head tilt down a little more to keep your spine neutral. Position's otherwise pretty good. You should try to squeeze at the lockout more too. Don't just get up and zip right back down, and when you do come down, make sure you're controlling the bar instead of just letting it slam you down with it. Keep at it meng. Off to a good start.

    Ok, thanks. I'll try to take that on board

    You have a bad habit of "rocking" into the lift before each rep. It's causing you to set up with your hips too low every time--- thus you have to start the lift by bringing your hips up so that you are in a more optimal pulling position. I would say get rid of the rocking start and just set up with your hips higher to start with.
    How to eliminate lower back rounding (aka "butt-wink") in the squat, a definitive guide:

    You're dropping your hips and turning this into a squat.
    Your hips should be way higher, don't drop them



    Check this picture, I also used a frame of your video compared to a proper form to show what you're doing wrong.
    Can you see the problem with your hips and squatting rather than deadlifting the weight?
