If I feel the Deadlift more in the flutes than the back?

[hpfiend]

Is this an indication that I also did squats today or that I am doing something wrong in the form?
Thanks!

Neither? Both?

Deads should definitely be felt in the glutes. If you also did squats, then it seems like even more of a sure thing. Can't know for sure about form without seeing you lift, but it is probably safe to say that if you aren't feeling any pain, you're probably going to be fine.

Flutes. Awesome.

Deadlifts work the entire posterior chain to some degree. Squats can work the glutes as well.

If you're concerned about your form, post up a video.

Flutes?

I typically feel deads in my clarinets. But that's just me.

Cheers.

In general, deadlifts involve your glutes, hamstrings and lower back.

If you don't feel the other two, it may mean your glutes are the weakest link.

I drive all the weight up from the heels of my feet. At the very top my glutes definetly feel a burn.

Hey OP I have the same issue. You must focus on biceps femoris and glutes for a time as you are likely faltering in form. A belt helps if you are not implementing one. Try box squats for a time but research correct form. Will pay dividens for you in the end.

He needs to focus on one particular section of the hamstrings?

How would the belt help him in this instance?

Why does sore glutes during a PC dominant movement equate to "faltering form"?




















....I wish the "gangstas" of BB.com misc would stay in the misc.

Thanks all! I figured it was normal but the weights are getting heavier now for me in starting strength and wanted to ask before I hurt something if it was a clear indication something was wrong. Apple word correction must have changed that to the musical instrument . I workout alone in my basement but maybe I could prop this iPod up somewhere to take a video as that would be helpful!

I feel the hamstrings and lower back for sure but not at the same level as the glutes so they must be

Prop it between weight plates (or something else similar) and film yourself, then upload it for a critique.
