    Default Deadlift Form Check

    Hi,

    Please correct my deadlift, I know i'm wearing straps, but I don't want to use hook grip since I don't plan to compete. I feel like my lower back seems a little rounded at the bottom, is it because i'm not getting tight enough? Do I need to squeeze / lift my chest higher? Or do I need to squeeze my hamstrings / glutes harder? Wondering if I should still keep adding more weight or work on my form before I progress more?

    360 x 4 Deadlift

    Thanks,
    Ronald

    More squeeze, less jerk.

    Also, rep 5 is missing.

    Can’t see your feet; read the form check video sticky.

    You’re smashing into your knees on the way down.

    360 for straps?

    Thanks for the tips, so will squeeze my chest up more correct the lower lumbar to be more in extension?

    Yeah i'm sorry about the bad angle I had already took the video, but on my next video I will use the correct view / angles.

    I have been having problems with the smashing into my knees on the way down, it's partly why I wear knee sleeves, do you know how why it's falling onto my knees and what I can do to correct this issue?

    and as for straps it's just my preference, I have super small hands, and I used to use mixed grip, but I don't want anymore imbalances on my shoulders / arms.

    Thanks,
    Ronald

    You're right for some reason I seem to always drop or never finish the last part of the rep on my deadlifts and pendlow rows, thanks for pointing that out, i'm going to fix this.
