Deadlift: Which of these two is the correct form? 315x3 [Form Check]

[ayjay23]

I'm lifting decent weight, but I feel my form is hampering me from increasing weights. Which of these two is the more correct form? Or are both completely incorrect?


Version 1 (black shirt): Deadz 315x2 -- too low? - YouTube

Version 2 (red shirt): Deadz 315x3 -- too high? Back rounding? - YouTube

Version 2, with more "sqouze," "chest up," "tight back," etc... before the pull. Don't yank the bar off the ground.

What does one "squeeze" in your response? The glutes? And my other issue is the "tight back" -- it loosens after I hit 2 reps.

Hi Adam,

Yes, I've read the book and it's what brought me here, but it looks like I'm not well-versed with the part you linked. And will have to remember to squeeze the chest up. Thanks.
