Deadlift for check

[AntiLopa]

Hi,

Can you tell me what you think about - ass position/height, bar raise line,back arched and other think you think of..

Thanks.

Looks good to me. Much better than a few months ago.

Looks like shit. Look down in front of you. Focus on a spot on the floor and keep your eyes on it. Flatten your back out. You are over flexing it. Almost look likes it's going to hyper extend in a few.

Do you see your first rep before you try to pull? That's how your pull should look. Before you pull, you lean back. Just stay in that spot and keep the back flat.

My hips arent too low?

My hips arent too low?

Yes. Way to low. Bring your hips up, shoulders should remain in front if the bar throughout the entire lift until you rack it. (finish the pull)

You're also overextending your back during setup. Don't overcompensate during setup with the expectation that you will lose all of your extension during your pull. Learn to extend your back the proper amount to begin with and keep it there consistently throughout the entire movement.

You're also still trying to break the bar off the ground with momentum. Momentum essentially does not exist in the deadlift. The break off the ground should be controlled. When you're all set up, force yourself to wait a second before starting your pull. That may help you stop trying to break the bar off the ground by cranking your head and upper spine up.

My back is straight when I start to pull. The head crank is something that I fail to solve so far.

I have to say that when my hips are lower the lift is easier.
As you can see here I have troubles keeping my back straight (beside that it feels harder):








Maybe this current hip position is good for my anatomy?

[Briks42]

It is. The hips will end up in the same exact position either way when the bar breaks the floor as Rip has pointed out. He advocates getting them there to start, but it doesn't really matter as long as your back isn't rounding or your barpath isn't getting fucked up. If the lower hips help you, use it.

Watch this http://startingstrength.com/index.ph...lting_deadlift. See how flat the Josh dude gets his back as he pulls off the floor? Notice his head position and the neutral alignment of his neck? That's what you need to emulate :-)
