Deadlift check
Could somebody please take a look and let me know:
A.) Are my hips starting at the right height?
B.) Is this a rounded back?
Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Breathe only when the weight is on the floor. Don't let the bar float away from your shins. Most of all, this is not a bounce lift. It is a deadlift. When you set the bar down reset and gulp air and lift.

That's what I suspected. I've tried to straighten out the back, but it seems the only way I can do that is if I drop my hips a couple inches lower.Originally Posted by Jeff Illingworth

Raise your chest until your back is straight, do not drop your hips keep them in place nice and tight-Trust the method, it works wonderfully.

Thank you all for the feedback. It’s really helpful. Here’s an updated set. Still working on maintaining a straight back on later reps, but I think this is an improvement.
