500 lb deadlift form check

[ZiniN]

I've been training hard and threw almost 100 on my deadlift, let me know how I'm doing.

Bump. I suck. Please help me guys.

props, looked good to me. But what do I know, I'm a weak little bitch.

Drop the hips a bit and work on getting tight before you pull. From the video it looks like you just rocked back and broke it off the floor, your lower-back also seemed to be rounded over, though that could just be a consequence of the camera angle.

Speaking of which, it'd be a lot easier to provide critiques if we could see some near-max pulls shot from the side.

Looked like you may have rounded your back a tiny bit, but it was honestly hard to tell with the angle. For future reference, shooting it from a side angle might be better. Regardless, nice lift.

watched your 405 vid man, great to see how 500 looked so much easier now for you then 405 did back then

Grip and rip, don't waste time sitting down there. Get in your stance, set your body up, grip, and pull. Other than the back rounding and seemingly high hips it went up fast. Good stuff.

Ack! The Octo-plates made from hell! My first suggestion is try putting 2.5s under the plates on the side away from you so the weight can at least rock back towards you. A lot of people even strong lifters will make micro corrections as far as where the bar is on their feet right before the bar leaves the ground and when you have hex or octo plates you just end up putting more strain on your back or hips without using this little trick.

The other thing I saw is that you need to work on setting your lats and maybe keeping your low back neutral although the low back deal is hard to tell from the angle. For setting the lats, the most common cues I hear are pull the slack out of the bar before you lift and sinking your lats into your back pockets. Along with those cues I've been finding strict hip hinge movements and any squat that had the bar moved forward more like front squats or SSB squats.

I know I'm new so for reference I pulled 515 in the summer and got 545 to my knees at 181 and I had similar form flaws that I've been effectively ironing out although far from perfect.

Straighten your back more before the lift and work on more leg drive and explosiveness

Otherwise solid lift
