I am aware of the fact that my deadlift form is not great
That is putting it mildly. and have posted a video for the sake of clarity
Thank you for doing so. (I'm also aware that this is the incorrect form of video angle but this is the only footage I have avaliable. I'm also once again in the middle of another lockdown and cannot train. Apologies for that). I think I'm lacking enough thoracic and lumber spine extension in the starting position
It appears it is not mobility but, rather, you just don't know what the proper position feels like, and that this is causing the issue
It's not the positioning but everything that happens after that is causing the issue. The movement of your hips in this set of deadlifts is absolutely atrocious.. Actually getting into the correct starting position seems to be a little difficult for me
I'm sure it is., and I'm wondering if stretching the hamstrings whilst keep the low back in extension is an appropriate way to improve the situation
Not likely to be of benefit.. For what it's worth, I also notice some cramping/stiffness in the same low back area occassionally when squatting and even when pressing.
It has been over a week since my last deadlift set and the pain/discomfort has persisted. I have read a similar post about an S.I related injury and the symptoms are comparable. The advice given was to train through the discomfort as the source of the injury could be arthritic in nature. Nonetheless I'm making this post with my video to rule out
I think we can "rule in" issues with the technique as a (at least) confounding variable, if not the actual cause. issues with my form that could be contributing to the issue. I'm looking for advice on what to do.
A coach and regular training will help. Coaches are expensive and you live in a country that shuts gyms down on a whim despite the fact that the largest population study, to date, conducted on COVID-19 transmission through gym facilities was conducted on the Australian population. The data presented does not appear to suggest, at all, that gyms are "super spreader locations".
This is 95kg I think
