    Deadlift question

    Hello Everyone!
    I'm following AllPro's workout for 5 weeks now and I almost can start with Cycle 2. In the previous weeks I didn't do the Deadlifts because I worried about them a bit. So when I will start with Cycle 2 I will start with doing deadlifts, but a problem.. I got a curved back.. My upperback is rounded and my lowerback is hollow, so that means I got a problem with bending forwards.. Can I still do the Stiff-Legged Deadlifts with my back or should I do just the normal deadlifts where I don't have a rounded back because there I can bend my knees. I think the best for me is to do normal Deadlifts, but I wanna improve my lower back so the Stiff-legged will be the best

    Hope to here from you soon

    , Nick

    Not sure what you mean when you say your lower back is hollow. A video of you deadlifting would be of more help.

    Stiff leg dl and conventional Dl's work very different muscle groups. SLDL's mainly focus on the hamstrings. Conventional DL's are a compound movement (your full body is actively moving the weight)

    I have no idea what you're talking about with a hollow lower back. In regards to rounding your back, the upper back does not matter at all. In regards to DL's you want to prevent any rounding in your lower back, it should be kept flat or arched.

    Here's you vid embedded:

    I'm also not so sure what you're trying to say here. But if you're lacking mobility to do sldl from the floor just work on your mobilty and shorten the ROM in the meantime.
