Deadlift form check

[Conner95]

Hey guys, back again to get some second opinions on my deadlift. I didnt think to record a video until my last set, so this felt pretty tough and heavy. Just want to make sure i'm not creating any bad habits! Thanks

Hips are too low to start lift (it's not a squat)...legs are locked out too early...what the heck are you looking all around at?

2nd this. No need to be rude though, it's pretty common for people who don't have movements patterns down to look at themselves in the mirror as they're lifting, I'm guessing this is what he's doing.

@ OP You can start with your hips a little higher--sitting in that squat position before you pull on a higher rep set will likely tire out your quads before you initiate the pull, which isn't ideal. Keep your eyes forward too, you're not going to help yourself get form down if you have to watch what you're doing rather than feel it.

Try this set-up method next time around - should help fix your issues. Do post again once you make adjustments.

Like mentioned above, your hips are too low which is causing your shins and knees to be in front of the bar, so your first movement is to move around your body with the bar. Try and get your shins more perpendicular to the ground.

Also, next video you post increase the weight. That weight seemed to easy for checking form.

Thanks everyone! I'll try to focus on your suggestions, deadlifitng again tomorrow so stay tuned for an update.

Tyler, You think this was too light? Maybe its my improper form, but it felt tough to do. I've gone as high as 225 before but havent been able to complete my sets before feeling like im REALLY screwing up form.

Morning guys. Deadlifted again yesterday with some of your advice and it really felt like it made a big difference. I'll post 2 videos, one at 225lbs and the other at 245lbs. The 225 x 5 felt easier than my previous video of 185 x 5 lol..

This is a huge improvement over what you were doing previously. Nice job on the adjustment.

Thanks i feel like next time i go i can take the weight even higher. Yesterday i spent a lot of energy on lower weights practicing my form and checking it constantly, before bringing the weight up to 245. Hopefully i can make some more steady improvements now!
