Andrew Lewis SSC: Critical Technique Elements: The Deadlift
This article is very helpful and I’ll try to implement. Thank you Andrew/Rip. On a recent podcast, Rip and Nick discussed how some lifters let their squat outpace their deadlift because they don’t add weight due to imperfect technique. I’m in this position with a last workout of 325x5 squat and a 345x5 deadlift. I’ve gotten up to 365x5 on the DL previously, but with a very rounded back. My squat has continued to progress without issue, but, on the deadlift, I have difficulty maintaining low back extension and being in proper position after my first rep. (2 things addressed in this article). I’ve reset the deadlift and worked my way back up a few times. Should I continue to just add five pounds and pull with the best form I can manage?
