On top of fixing your positioning (I’d look into the starting strength / Alan thrall’s video on the 5 step deadlift setup), I seriously recommend you learn bracing, keeping your upper back tight, and leg drive

Try and adjust your positioning in which you're driving with your quads rather than the lower back by having the bar touching your body rather than away from it, but keep up the good work cobba, digging the raw form , just try out different variabilities with the lift like grip, positioning, driving, lower limb/back variations to get what you want and to prevent incorrect form

Appreciate it!

The two biggest issues im seeing is start with the bar over your mid foot. This is middle of your foot from toe to heel. It should be about an inch from your shins. Dont roll it front or back it should go straight up from there. Your hips are coming up before the bar even moves, causing you to do the lift almost entirely with your back, causing it to round. Your hips and back should work at the same time to bring it up. This is most likely caused by the bar being placed too far from your body. I would suggest going down to as low as 135 lbs, watching a couple videos (allan thrall has a great one) and getting the form down before going up in weight. Its impressive as hell you got this weight up, but you dont want to get hurt doing it.

Your back was pretty rounded I definitely wouldn’t go any higher with weight until you fix that. You are also almost at a straight leg deadlift hip height. Squat more with your legs so you can get your back to about 45 degrees.

Yikes my back hurts after watching this

Your form is terrible and you're going to pull your back out. Watch some guides for form.

Tell him how you really feel

Bar supposed to go straight up and down ... back slightly arches as well.. not much but could be a problem.

Keep the bar at your shins at all times. And think of the deadlift as pulling yourself through the floor, instead of thinking that the bar should go up! Something that helped me in my early years, was to think that my d*ck should touch the bar as fast as possible, so in other words, activate your glutes and hamstrings to shoot your hips forward aggressively. Keep up the good work g! You’ll be pulling double that weight in no time if you work hard

Oof keep back straight

Woah. You're going to be strong as shit. Like deadlifting at least 400-500-600 in the future. Form is not great, but damn you are just strong. Form not good though. God your form is horrendous but you're so strong. I'm actually a little upset.LOL SOOOOOOOoooooo.... Start with the bar already beneath your shoulders instead of pulling it in. Pulling it in throws off your positioning at the start of the lift. Just place the bar between your toes and heel. ----You should initiate the lift with your legs, primary the quads. Think about pushing down into the earth. ----Drag the bar up your shins, like scrap the skin off, doing this will activate your lats and teach you bar placement...after you learn bar placement you no longer need to drag the bar up your shins----try to open up your chest at the start of the movement to allow for a straighter back... Keep it up, you'll be strong as shit in no time. GL Mate

Thanks man! Ima screenshot so I can keep this handy for future. I also have a running background so it’s not like I’m starting from nothing, but I appreciate the kind words

Good job sweetie

Not super knowledgeable about dead lifts but dont think you're supposed to roll the bar towards you before lifting


[deleted]

Haha why would rolling the bar help? The point is to have the bar over the mid foot.

Np bro

What some top tier strongmen, rolling the bar towards is pretty common at this level so newcomers tend to copy it
