    Three plates 140kg, feels fine, but not sure my back is straight as it should be, my upper back is slightly rounded anyway.

    Nice weight, big guy. Your butt is way too low. Otherwise, a good lift.

    Yes, does look low, feel like I can lift more, but want to get the form right first, then start adding 2.5kg's again.

    When you bring your shins to the bar, don't push the bar away from your midfoot.

    That too. He must have pushed it about four inches. I think that's why you think you must lower your butt. Don't do either. It does look like you could lift a great deal more weight but not if you don't get the form right.

    Thanks blugold and carson. You're both right, looks butt too low which is pushing the bar away from midfoot, I seem to slide the bar up in a curve. I'll send another vid over the weekend.

    Yes, I read the posting videos link this morning and now reading the Deadlift instruction. I've read SSll and lll, but have miss something important. I will lift the chest and find a straighter bar path on my next deadlift.

    Stop pushing the bar forward with your shins on the first rep.

    Don't push the bar forward. You must have pushed it forward by 4 or 5 inches. Stop breathing. You destroy your valsalva. By breathing out you limit yourself to what you can lift. Hold the valsalva until the put the bar back down. STOP BREATHING during the entire lift. Please, tell us you height and weight. Are the plates a standard 45 lb plates. If so you are very tall.
