Reply With QuoteThe deadlift starts with knee extension -- pushing the floor away from the bar, which results in a vertical bar path. You are pulling the bar around your knees, instead of pushing the bar away from the floor. Your coach should know this.

DL form check
I've been working on my deadlift form for a while and have been really trying to keep my hips up during the movements. Ever since I've been doing that, I've been really feeling it in my ass and hamstrings. How does my form look?

Thank you for your advice Rip. I've been working on having a straight bar path and am able to achieve it during warm-ups. However, as soon as I start my workset it goes around my knees slightly.. Here is the video Do you have any other cues that will help besides pushing the bar away from the floor?
I love all that you do Rip, thank you for making your knowledge accessible to everyone.
