    Deadlift cue to start the pull

    Can someone explain to me how to "drive the floor away" on the deadlift? At around 315 I noticed my form is becoming **** because I'm using my lower back and arms too much to start the pull. I can't make the MMC to start the pull with my legs, despite having a good setup. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I had to teach my gf some cues to deadlift... maybe they will connect with you?.

    "drive the floor away" and then "drive hips through" as it passes the knee.

    as "legpress the floor" and then "**** the bar" as it passes the knee.

    Then again, depending if you pull high hip or low hip will change how much quad drive you are able to actually achieve.
