    Hello,

    YouTube

    I would like to know your opinion on my form when performing the Deadlift
    This was the last working set with around 80% of my 1RM weight

    Lately Ive been having issues with keeping tightness in my lower back.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Greetings

    You're rocking back and dropping the hips a bit, so your weight ends up on your heels and your shoulders directly over the bar (look at the profile view). Likely to get the back tightness you speak of.
    Get your weight on midfoot and keep the hips higher than you want to. When you execute step 3 and bring your shins to the bar, your hips should stay put. With the bar on your shins, and your weight midfoot, set the back from there. Hang out over the bar, and drive your midfoot into the ground as you hold on to the bar.
    I'd also have you bring your heels together a bit so you have more of an angle with the feet.

    Hello Pete,

    Thanks a lot for the tip! I will make sure to put them into practice during my next DL session.

    Thanks again
