    Default Deadlift form check 225 lbs

    I would appreciate advice on my deadlift. Thank you very much in advance!

    YouTube Link
    (I'm sorry for the "Short" video, I can't figure out how to tell YouTube to upload the file as a normal video.)

    I'm on day 45 of the program and raised my 1x5 from 130 lbs to 225 lbs.

    I'm trying to implement the setup as coached by Rip here and so set my back as shown here

    I'd like a general form check and have two specific questions:

    - I cannot seem to extend my lower back any more than shown in my video. It feels anatomically impossible. Do I need specific mobility exercises or coaching?
    - If there are problems with my form, should I still go up in weight next time?

    Don't exhale at the top of the pull -- breathing is only at the bottom. Your ass is too low/bar too forward. Get your knees out better to make more room between your thighs for your belly as you set the low back.

    Thank you Mark. I'll take another video trying to implement the advice.
