Deadlift Form - Lumbar Spine Rounded
Hey Gang,
Below is a link to my deadlift set from the last workout. I'm fairly new to Starting Strength, and I have concerns that I'm building a bad habit with my deadlift form, particularly around some rounding of my lower back.
Can you take a look and let me know your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
Most Sincerely,
Pete

Hey there Ryan,
It's been a few months since you responded to my post, but I just wanted to say thank you for this great video! This was exactly what I needed. The guidance in it was really easy to follow and it immediately made me realize what I was missing.
In addition, I set up my laptop with an external USB video camera and a 15' USB cable extender. That allowed me to look forward at my computer while watching my back angle from the side. Once I saw my back lock into place, I would start the lift without pain or bending!
Kudos!
-Pete
