Deadlift Form Check

[Maybach]

Your back hurts because you are hyperextending at the top of each rep.

Once your shoulders are in place, just stop. No extra credit on the deadlift.

Thank you Jason, I will be making some changes!

I would like to lower my body fat percentage and be a bit cleaner about my eating as I head towards 230+ BW again, but I’ll definitely focus on that after the meet.

I have considered hiring a coach to help out with coaching and programming, but I feel stubborn having gotten this far from reading the books. Do you provide paid, online coaching/form checks?

Not sure if that's directed at me specifically, but in case it is - I am not an SSC or a paid coach, just a guy with thoughts, opinion, and experience who helps out this community, but there are some SSCs that do online work. You can look here: Coaching | Starting Strength .

I know that Maj. Broggi's company, The Strength Co. does online coaching. From his Twitter feed, I think he's getting ready for a military deployment, but he's not the only coach they have, so they would be worth asking: Coaching
– The Strength Co. .

I have had the privilege of visiting and training once with Phil Meggers at his gym, Testify Strength and Conditioning. They also list online coaching as a service they provide: Testify Strength & Conditioning - Train With Us — Testify Strength & Conditioning .

I have never walked away from an opportunity to get coaching from an SSC and not been very happy I did so.
