Where's your lockout bro? Your legs are still bent at the top

Yeah I guess I've never really "locked" my legs. Seems more natural to keep them ever so slightly bent.Originally Posted by VIsland

Remember the dealift utilizes a lot of your hams, quads and hips. Don't use your back (aka one way ticket to snap city). But you look like you know what you're doing. Just dont be afraid to lock out. Your whole body must be one throughout the motion.

Did you mean "don't use ONLY your back?" Because the back is used in deadlifts. I think I'm doing an alright job of utilizing the legs. This was actually my initial problem- my hips used to shoot up and my back would pull 90% of the lift.Originally Posted by WutangFlex732

You are taking a lot of hip drive out of the movement. If you are driving through with your hips, your legs would straighten out.
It seems like you're still putting too much work on your lower back. Your hips and the bar should pretty much rise in sync and meet at the top.

Interesting bar.
Looks to me like your hips start too low. They shoot up first before the weight comes off the ground. Try making that position your starting position.
And yea try to complete a full lockout.

Lose the belt
Hips are starting too low
Before you DL make sure your lats are engaged"There is no question that belts assist in generating a few more Newton-meters (or foot-pounds) of torque in the torso through elastic recoil of a bent orso that is stiffened with a belt. However, if a neutral spine is preserved throughout the lift this effect is minimal. In other words, to obtain the maximal effect from a belt, the lifter must lift poorly and in a way that exposed the back to a much higher risk of injury!”

The fact that you never lock your knees is indicative of poor hip and quad drive. Think about driving your hips up and forward once the bar passes the knees. Your starting position is also too low, think about pulling back instead of pulling up.

What do you mean by quad drive?
