Reply With QuoteWatch and follow the five step deadlift video. You are bumping the bar forward before you begin the pull and lowering your hips. Don't let the bar move away from you! Also, don't look in the mirror.

Deadlift form
I've been having an issue with my lower back when doing Conventional Deadlifts. I always have some lower back rounding that causes discomfort/pain. I've done mobility work/stretching and foam rolling but it's always there.ive been doing sumo deadlifts for now but I eventually want to incorporate conventional deadlifts. Ive attached two videos from two different angles. Maybe I need to start with my shins at about .5" from the bar instead of an inch, to have a higher hip position since I have long femurs? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks Jeff, also I noticed that on the last rep of the 2nd video, I lower the bar but keep my hips high. This resulted in a more horizontal back angle but my back looks much more flat.
