How I made my deadlift feel lighter & faster.

[Jonathan Silverman]

I noticed it felt faster/lighter to do a deadlift if I postponed opening my back angle as i opened my knee angle. Like if i tried to get upright as soon as i started deadlifting it would feel difficult. But by consciously pushing against the floor while opening the knee angle while having a thought to keep your back angle closed... and then getting upright... that made all the difference. Can anyone confirm?

This is right out of Starting Strength, so yes.

Do you know what page that is on? I can't find it.

Deadlift capter, I think its in reference to a picture sequence.
