Deadlift form check... after corrections.

[nattyuser]

Did a form check yesterday, got some pointers.
Attempted to tweak it with a lighter weight after my workout today.

Still don't think it's right feelsbadman.jpg

Do you notice how, when you lower the weight, you sort of "squat" and your knees go forward, even before the bar's passed them? Avoid that. Hinge at the hip and then bend the knees once it passes them.

Yeah that sounds like good advice, save my kneecaps.

Other than that though, is it looking acceptable?

Hit the nail on the head there ^

but other than that looking good.

I'm no deadlift master, but I'd say other than that the only thing you might wanna look into is your hip height, since it seems on some reps they drop crazy low. While some lifters actually like to start with their asses down low and their shoulders practically in line with the bar ("clean deadlift") it's more of an Olympic lifting thing, and I don't get the feeling you're going for that. Experiment with hip height and see how different heights feel.

I did a video check yesterday, where my hips were higher and my shoulders were out in front of the bar. Someone suggested i try and keep them in line with the bar, not sure which i prefer but ill play around with it and find whats best.

But anyways, as long as the initial movement looks okay the lowering should be easy to fix.

Thanks for the input though, repped
