Deadlift form check please

[AK49]

Coaches,

Your criticism is greatly appreciated. This is a light lift for me so my form hasn't broken down. It is 205 lbs. My max is 275.

Those look fine. However, if 275 for 5 is a heavy deadlift for you, then 205 isn't the greatest choice for a form check. If you don't need to alternate your grip at 205, don't.

Thanks Tom. I have a video from last night at 255 lbs, 20 short of my PR. They weren't easy for me but I thought my form held up.

Squeeze your chest up. Right now your back is in flexion off the ground. The belt may be fighting you a little. Get your back flat. This will be uncomfortable.

Thanks. I can see that in the video now that you pointed it out.
