    Hi,

    I started the program a few weeks ago (did only 'exercises' in the gym before, no real training program). Would be great if you could take a look at my deadlift. I am now at 100kg (~220lbs) for 3 sets of 5.

    Had to do a 4th set because I messed up the recording on the 3rd. The video shows that last/4th set.



    Height: 186cm (~ 6 foot 1), Weight: 75kg (~ 166 lbs) <-- I know my weight needs to go up.. I'm working on it!

    If you do not reset the bar back over midfoot and hips up every rep, knees will sag forward progressively during the set, as we see here.

    Thank you, I will focus on resetting the bar and my hips before each rep from now on.

    shouldn't you be doing only 1 set of 5 for Deadlifts?

    Yeah, I received the grey book a few days ago and noticed that I was not really doing the program correctly (3 sets instead of 1 for deadlifts, 3 sets of 5 reps power cleans instead of 5 sets of 3 reps...) but have corrected it since then.
