    Havent taken any video of my DL since Ive started so I thought some feedback would be appropriate.

    This is yesterdays workset of 260lb. Ive noticed that I may have taken the keep your hips high cue a bit too much, and maybe some lumbar flexion. Curious as too what you guys think I should fix. I took the video directly perpendicular because I was curious about my back angle. Thanks again.

    1. Check out the sticky about form check videos. Basically, we can't see your feet and the bar, so we can't check your setup.
    2. You're going around your knees on the descent. Break from your hips first and don't bend your knees until the bar is past them.
    3. More SQUOZE is always a good thing.

    Lockout at top. Drag the bar up and lean back.

    you back is nearly horizontal, which means not enough knee angle and therefore no much in the way of quad involvement to break the bar off the floor. Essentially you are doing a SLDL (all back)
    No spinal erector contraction/extension. As the bar gets to your knees, squeeze your glutes hard, this will help get your hips forward so you can lock out. As you move your hips forward, pull your shoulders back. do not do a hyperextension by excessively leaning back.

    You vid sucks pretty much for any other constructive comments.

    Ive actually referred too the sticky for previous squat videos, mistakenly thought this angle would be better since I thought my back angle was the problem. Oh well next time.
