6’4 Tree Pulling

[paul1204]

i’m applying the 5 steps to the best of my abilities and after i lift my chest and pull the slack i have a really good flat back.

the problem however comes when i actually pull the bar. my body shifts slightly forward and it throws the bar forward which results in an ineffeficent pull.

it doesn’t seem like a load issue because this rocking forward happens even with 185

sorry if i’m slow, its because i’m overthinking the steps usually i’m quicker.

thanks

You're starting off with your hips too low, knees to forward, bar forward of mid-foot. For a deadlift, 90% of the time it's the start position.
