Form check on deadlift please

[kap73]

You need to work on lower back extension as you are a tad bit rounded there but nothing absolutely horrible. If that head position works for you great but I do like a more nuteral cervical spine. Also don't roll the weights around this places them in a bad position for the pull you should walk up put your mid foot under the bar, take your grip with straight legs then bring your shins to the bar, take your deep valsalva breath and lift.

Honestly man for not DLing much it does look really good and I'm picking it apart to help but it's not like you are doing a horrible job at all. Good job man and keep it up!

Hey mate thanks alot for your response, honestly i post this to be told how it is. I will read thru your comment a couple times over the next few days and try to take it all in. Like i said havent done them really and have never been taught. Im going to incorperate them more this year tho. Thanks again

Looks good. If it's your 1RM then expect some rounding of the back. You will increase your weight dramatically in the beginning as you get used to lifting like that. But I wouldn't go more round then that. Because you will get hurt. Just make sure no injuries come with it. But it does look good.

Inaba: Way old school 'frog style' deadlift, shins greater than 45 degrees to the floor.

Hepburn: Right foot always left the floor.

Kuc, Williams, Anderson, etc.: Famous for 'terrible form' and 'Stiff legging it up'.

Bob Peoples: Straight legs, knees way past toes.

The only deadlift-related thing these people have in common is pulling more weight than any poster in this thread could move with a fork lift. 'Standard form' is just like a Smith Machine - one size fits none.

My forklift tops out at 10k load capacity... So therefor of a basis of that what you have said is invalid

Just because people CAN lift heavy loads in a less then optimal position doesn't mean they should nor should it be the basis for another person to learn a less then optimal way. Cool I get that you don't like cookie cutter stuff great but it contributes nothing by telling him people have lifted with horrible form cause people also have blown discs and had hernias from horrible form.

The body is in its most mechanically adventageous starting position in the way described by myself and the others here. I am an incredible skier but I also have terrible skiing form, could you learn how to ski like me yes, would I advise it? No because it's the improper way to do it I've just adapted to that way as its all I've ever known, wish I knew how to do it right from the start and that's what I'm trying to do for him is get it right from the start.

I just don't believe that to be true, because everyone is different. The Nautilus machine, for example, was designed to perfectly address the needs of the average person, who pretty much doesn't exist. There's definitely a most efficient way for me to lift and a most efficient way for you to lift, and they might be close if we're of similar proportion and level, but the odds are against them being identical for anyone.
