Deadlift Form Check
Hello,
I am new here and would like an opinion on my deadlift. I injured my lower back (disc buldge) doing deadlifts a few years ago so I want to make sure it looks safe before I load more weight.
This is Monday's workout 305lb x5

Those look pretty solid to me. Aside from narrowing your stance a little, I don't know that I have anything to complain about. You rounded slightly on your last rep, but that was mostly because you did not set your back as hard as you did on the other reps prior to the pull. Squeeze up every time, even as you get tired. Nice work. Add some weight.

Thank you for having a look. Friday I went for 315 but only got 3 reps. I dont push it once I cant stay tight as I fear slipping the disks again. I think its time to drop the increases down to 5lb rather than 10lb.

I would consider a velcro belt, too. Eventually, you'll want a leather powerlifting belt, perhaps three inches wide instead of four. Something like this would probably work for a velcro belt:

I already purchased the Inzer 10mm single prong. I will wear it once it gets here for my working sets on deadlifts and possible squats.
