Deadlift Form Check

[TassUK]

Good Morning Mr Rippetoe from jolly old England.

I have been doing Starting Strength for 11 weeks, and wondered if you would be so kind as to critique my deadlift form?

I do have your book and DVD. Is my ass a little too low. I think it definitely is in the first rep.

Thank you ever so much for your time.

Your hip height is ok, the first 3 reps seem fine also, on the last two the bar was a bit too far and was not 100% over the middle of the foot, which made them a bit harder and not as efficient, I also think your lumbar spinae isn't as contracted as it should be when you set up.
I'd say we need to see some form check with challenging numbers, perhaps 20KG more, which you should reach in 2 weeks or so.

BTW, this isn't RIPs forum, he has his own monitored forum(each msg goes through his supervision) so look it up
