Deadlift Form Check - Follow-up
Having botched my first form check, here are some (hopefully) proper videos:
Deadlift Form Check - Front View
Deadlift Form Check - Side View
Deadlift Form Check - Rear View
Is my technique OK? I'm just starting out, so wanted to check with you guys before increasing the weight.

What I called "Front View" is front quarter.

You have to get set every time. Don't do touch and go reps. Look this up if you don't know what that means.Originally Posted by Martin Shenfield
To help you out, go through the 5 step setup every time you do a rep.
1) shins 1 inch from the bar for the setup
2) bend over and grab the bar without bending your knees
3) drop your hips/bend your knees until your shins touch the bar. Stop your butt right here, this sets your hip height. Do not drop your butt during this next step......
4) squeeze your chest up (without dropping your hips) squeeze it up harder than you want to....show your nipples off to the wall in front of you with your eyes 12 feet on the floor in front of you.
5) while keeping your chest up and your hips high (where they were when you set your shins in step 3) grip the bar, keep your chest up and then push your feet down into the floor to make the bar come up while keeping it on your legs on the way up.
Be intentional about all of this and take your time. Do this for every rep you deadlift and you will be able to lift more weight.

These aren't the worst, but the weight is too low to give you helpful feedback. For sure though, reset between each rep, it's not tap and go like a crossfit gym. Put some weight on the bar.
