Is the bar in contact with your legs throughout the entire rep?
32 y/o male at 166 lbs. I'd like some feedback on my deadlift:
185 x 2 - Last warmup set:
195 x 4 (actually x 5, but the phone decided to turn off):
From the videos, it looks to me like my back is rounding a bit and that my lumbar/lower back isn't in enough extension, but I'm struggling to figure out how to get it in extension. I'm pretty sure its not a strength issue as
1) the weights feel quite manageable
2) I see the exact same for form issues even on my warm up sets.
Are my hips too low? Am I starting off too far forward or back? Lifting too much with my hips? Something else? Simply being too self critical?
Would definitely appreciate some feedback.
Is the bar in contact with your legs throughout the entire rep?
Ahh, I forgot to mention this. The bar seems to leave my legs (just slightly -- no more than an inch or so) somewhere between a quarter and halfway up my thigh. Of course I realize this is wrong, but keeping it in contact with my legs at that point causes me to lose balance and fall backwards.
