    Been pulling heavier weight lately since I've been more consistent with my volume days.

    Looking for some feedback on my starting position since the last time I posted a vid of my pull I was told to start with my hips higher.

    I tried doing that but I still get sucked into dropping my hips a bit sometimes without noticing.

    Here's 642lbs for a single.

    Sorry, just realized I posted the full version of the video instead of the one I trimmed.

    Is there any way to delete a thread/post?

    I think the lenght of the video is not offensive at all.
    As for the deadlift, if you pull 600+, I think are entitled to do whatever you please.
    I'll just stand in the gutter of my <400 PR, and watch in awe.

    PS
    Are those Ironmind straps?

    Ha! Thanks.

    Yes, they are. I really like them, and they were very reasonably priced when I was shopping around.

    It's usually more productive to check form on a series of reps at a lighter work weight as opposed to near max singles. You start pretty good, but as you wrap onto the bar and get set, you are actually shifting your position and the bar so that your shoulders end up a bit forward and you drop your hips to get back into position. The bar then wants to get back in front of you as you pull. Make yourself tighter at the start of the pull and start slower. Speed up as you get off the ground and pull back.

    It's more noticeable in the single, but you extend your knees to early. Your hips are mostly all by themselves at the very top. Your hips also get lower throughout your triple.
