How the fuck do I fix my deadlift??
stop lifting too much weight. Also try bumping your boobs out of your chest helps keeping your lower back straight.
THANK YOU BACKSNAP GORILLA
>>36047686
>Just Snap It
Lift chest and extend shoulders towards bar so back is tight.
Load hamstrings and flex ass.
Lower the damn weight.
>>36047686
Less weight
Chest out
Use a snatch grip for awhile.
How's this start position lads? I've been watching form vids all night and this is the best start position I've done so far (All others result in me bashing knees or whatever, and feel much heavier); the back felt fine, but looks a little un-straight.
BTW Ive gotten a bit tubby due to bulking so that plays a part.
>>36047686
Ass high up in the air, you have to feel it in your hamstrings when you're in the starting position
Lower weight
>>36047745
1. Underage, enjoy your ban.
2. It's still shit.
3. I pray to god this is bait.
>>36047745
>Marvel undies
This guy looks like he's ten...
>>36047745
Why did you take a pic in your underwear tho?
>>36047745
Get your ass higher so you feel a stretch in your hamstrings
>>36047745
But your back is still bent.
I hope this is bate. Just practice arching your back.
Arch you back like you are doing a squat. Go ATG and then from there, while keeping your back arched, transition into an imaginary deadlift stance.
I will also highjack this thread
Can I get my form checked please?
I posted a little earlier about constant lower back pain since starting SS last week, I was doing the lifts different (worse) the last times and adjusted a bit today

Haha don't worry lads I'm over 18; the pic makes me look like a youngun. The reason I'm in undies was so I could see my back better; I got those undies as a joke present.
>>36047792
>>36047833
I thought it was bent, but it didn't feel that way - I watched a Rippetoe vid, but I'll try raising my ass and doing the Squat shit.
Cheers for all the insults and advice though, I'll carry on experimenting.
>>36047686
>friendly reminder that this is the form 90% of /fit/ use when claiming they deadlift more then 2pl8
>>36047686
Get your legs stronger.
>>36047686
I actually said "oh my god" out loud when I watched that. What the fuck man.
>>36047848
> Deadlift
Ram your hips into the bar to lock out. Pull your shoulders back as well. Hump the living fuck out of it to bring your glutes in more.
> Squat
lower faggot
consciously push your knees out during the descent and keep them from coming in on the ascent
>>36047686
Watch the alan thrall video on romanian deadlifts
>>36047848
Protract your shoulders, tighten your upper back. It looks like the weight is ripping your shoulders off.
>>36047848
those deadlift proportions
stop shrugging shoulders, tighten lats, chest out, load posterior chain
>>36047848
>deads
your shoulders are too rounded
lower back too
work on mobility
>squat
lower
>>36047686
shit dude, that is just painful to watch
>>36047686
Break the bar off the floor with your quads, THEN use your ass/hams/erectors
Deload A LOT, like 20% less
Do snatch grip deadlifts
>>36047981
>protract
>tighten
do you mean retract? If so, that is shit advice m8
>>36048023
my evidence
http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/mark-rippetoe-q-and-a/7235-deadlift-shoulders.html
>>36047833
nigga you gon snap your shit up if you arch in a squat
Swallow your pride and lower the fucking weight retard.
>>36047892
>then
Opinion discarded.
>>36047686
Deload to 100, work on form. Your form is destroying your potential.
Easy to fix mistakes:
Keep your head neutral, do not look straight ahead like you are doing in the vid.
Brace your core, your back is curving, it should not be happening without the load far surpassing your bodyweight(for example 100 kg person lifting around 300)
Keep your traps tight.
Push with your quads first.
Do not "just pull" the weight, push to the ground with your legs as well.
>>36048082
Fuck off burgercuck
>>36048051
i do not believe you understand either the post you are responding to, nor the post by Rippetoe.
He says to allow natural scapular positioning. He specifically states not to cue scapular retraction unless going for some world record attempt where tightening the traps would prevent a miss.
Also, the guys proportions are pretty weird. To me, his form looks fine as long as he pulls his hips through as >>36047956 suggests
>>36047848
On the squat you should stick your ass a bit more back so your knees are somewhat vertically aligned with your toes.
Also you should go lower. Your thighs should go past parallel relative to the floor.
Is this you, OP?
Lower the weight
>>36047686
Deload, reform.
You need to have your shoulders further back. Also, your back starts out pretty good, but then goes full arch on your lift.
>>36047686
forget everything you learned and do back extensions and RDL till you learn hip hinge
10 year old looking guy again. I think I've got it worked out - this time I focused more of loading the hips and having my ass ready for action.
Anything wrong with it?
>>36048543
Don't look up, keep your head in line with your spine.
Though I know it's b8.

Thanks guys
Yes, I have kinda strange proportions, long arms and long legs, also always had tight hamstrings. I can't even do pic related to the floor, more like 2-4 cm off.
Will work on that, thanks again for the advices
>>36048556
It's not haha, I've just got piss poor deadlift form.
Cheers tho.
>>36047686
You look like a scared kitty cat
>>36048601
Aren't you that one fag from /plg/?
>>36047686
Nigger what are you doing? Do you want to die?
Try lower weight with more precise form. Also, try inhaling into diaphragm and using your abdominal muscle to stabilise.
>>36048649
Nope lol. He look like a 10 year old?
>>36048662
He is.
>>36048852
I'm guessing Benchbro is the 10 year old?
Nice to know I'm not alone in this world of young body haha.
I started deadlifting today, for the first time in my life.
Just went with the bar and then 20kg for 8reps just to be safe.
Big problem though: my calfs/ankles/hammies are so tight that I struggle or couldnt even get into the starting position without my heels raising and I feel that worsened my form.
I just tried keeping my back always arched and chest puffed out, first raising the bar with the legs and then going with the core up and back, until my hips and knees were locked
Lower the weight and do the following:
#1: Get off your heels. Keep your weight over the middle of your foot.
#2: Look down at the floor. Keep your neck in a neutral position.
#3: Wear some socks that cover your shins, and as you lift, drag the bar up your shins.
>>36049242
the bar is 20kg you mong
>>36049242
Work on your flexibility
>>36047686
don't lift with your ego, go lighter
shoulders over or in front of the bar? i hear different things about this.
>>36049668
Scapula on top, shoulders infront.
>>36048131
not OP but how do you keep your traps tight? what do i do with my scapula also?
>>36049709
You've either got the neuromuscular control or you don't. What do you think you should do with your back muscles when people say to keep your upper back tight
>>36048307
Yes
>>36049821
It's like your sister's tight vag, holy shit tutti fruition I'm in a fucking high ass condition fukkkk
>>36047686
I see the deadlift grip meme every fucking day and benchbro still doesnt grab it right.
>>36047686
>>36047848
Keep head neutral - don't look up or forward.
welcome to snap city
>>36049242
The ones at my gym are 10. I put 5kg on each side
>>36049427 misquoted, here
>>36049998
>>36047921
I laughed so hard I started hiccuping. His starting stance isn't awful, the second he starts the lift though, his lower back bends like a fuckin staw. Literally one of the worst DLs I've ever seen
use your legs mother fucker god damn
>>36048543
If you widen your stance your starting position will be tighter, but the pulling is less efficient.
Might be worth trying anyway
>>36047686
>shirt says "just do it"
>OP doesn't do it
>>36047686
Lift weight you can actually handle
>Snap snap city bitch
>>36047686
puff your chest out when u begin to lift
>>36050557
and this
>>36047686
Train hip and glutes, you do that shit cause your back is strong but the hip is fucking shit.
>>36047686
the first thing to move is your lower back
you need to lift from your ass and legs and pull those shoulders back
>>36047686
deload
>>36047686
>How the fuck do I fix my deadlift??
Suck on the barrel of a shotgun, Sean.
That should do the trick.
>>36051083
Buda why are you so upset all the time?
>>36047686
lmao you weigh 210 lbs and cant DL 275? HAHAH wtf
>>36051103
There he is.
Big surprise to find you here, m8. Hope you're helping out the young boy with his deadlift.
>>36051125
his deadlift has improved since then and i didnt make the thread; i just find the comments hilarious
>>36047686
Let this guy be an example.
Should you open up your hips in the starting position?
I've been doing that but to avoid touching my legs with my arms my grip width feels kind of wider than it should be.
>tfw gaining weight
>5'9 176 atm
>keep stalling on 280 deadlift for 5 reps
>280 P O U N D S
Everything is progressing except DL. I brought it up from 225 to 280 in a month and change once I started a slow bulk but I can't the numbers up any fucking more
>>36052368
whats your squat at?
>>36051737
>the jedi in the back force pushing him up
>>36052495
OHP: 115 3x5
BP: 170 3x5
Squat: 220 3x5
I add 5 lbs to my OHP every 3 workouts (OHP is fucking hard), 5 lbs to my BP every 2 workouts (also fucking hard), and I can add 5lbs to my squat basically every time I squat
>>36052541
man i wish i was you.... being chubby and starting at maintenance, basically doing recomp has offered very slow gains.... it takes me maybe 4 bench sessions to get it up... although my lifestyle isnt perfect... occasionally get 8 hours and mediocre diet.
>>36047686
>>36051737
>>36052368
as a man how can you guys simply not be able to lift 3pl8 easy as fuck? I was probably able to hit that in a couple of months top during my beginner year.
>>36052576
Dude you dotn want to start where I was.
I was a fatass at 250 5'7 in HS, then lost like 80 lbs to 170 exclusively through cardio.
I lost ALL my muscle since I just did the elliptical and ate like 1200 calories.
At the end I was 165-170 skinnyfat as fuck.
My stats at that point were:
BP: 85 3x5
OHP: 65 3x5
Squat: 95 3x5
Deadlift: 115 1x5
I was a weak, chubby mess since I had only bodyfat.
I then lifted barely for like a year and ate like shit. I went to the gym once a week MAYBE and did a full body routine and I only got my lifts up a bit.
Now I have nothing to cut too. I got to like 160 and looked like shit so I just said fuck it and am slow bulking now. I gained like 8-9 pounds on the first day I ate over maintenance and maintained it fucking kek
>>36052541
typically when squat goes up so does your deads.
either your squat form is wrong, your deadlift form is wrong, or you just ran out of noob gains and started the actual grind. deadlifting may also be wreaking havoc on your cns so you may want to limit it to 1-2x a week.
squat down lower you fuck and actually pick up with your legs, instead of
>snapcity
with your back , lmao top fucking kek.
>>36052624
I do trappys modified SS, so I DL 3 times every 2 weeks and do light diddies in between (normally 225 3x5)
I also alternate squats and deadlifts, so I squat 3 times in 2 weeks as well, since my legs are fucking huge already from being a fatass a few years ago and muh genetics storing a shitton of fat in my thighs/glutes.
>>36052648
do you feel tired or fatigued? are you getting your calories? also 3x5 might be a bit much for you considering your max is only about 50 lbs heavier. my suggestion is lower the light set to 1 working set at a lighter weight or even skip it and just save that energy for your heavy day.
>>36052685
I went in today and failed 280 on the 4th rep, so I got a good 3 out. I then did another set with chalk since I was fucking mad for failing and got 3 more out.
I did not feel that tired honestly, I felt pretty good, and I was psyched up with Mr Hyde pumping through my bloodstream and Awaken my Masters at full blast.
I do not think the light diddies fatigue me much, but I may cut it down to 1x5+ or 2x5 for Fridays workout.
I'm 5'9, 175, and eating about 2800 calories. I'm hovering around 174-178 depending on if sodium/water/preworkout has not been pissed out yet, so I am definetly eating enough.
I take creatine too.
IDK why I failed it honestly, hopefully I can hit it next week. I'm hoping chalk will give me that extra edge I need since my grip is fucking horrible, even with mixed.
I was also mentally fatigued because I just studied 6 hours straight and then took a calc III exam, but after I started warming up and I took my PWO, the mental fatigue was gone.
>>36052732
Sounds good to me then. Just give it time, get your sleep, and watch out for the gains goblin known as calculus.
>>36052838
word thanks nigga
r8 my deadlift, weight feels easy but my grip strength is poop
>>36052921
snab city
if thats easy I dont wanna see heavy
>>36047745
Those tiny ears
Zero muscle tone
Are you 13?
>>36052946
Kek
Deads thread? Deads thread.
Just took this one today.
315 for I think 6 or 8 I can't remember. 5' 6" manlet @142
>>36052921
Not good. You are letting your glut rise much faster than your back and that's causing your back to go parallel to the ground before the barbell has even passed your shins. The glut should rise in line with your back.
Start by pushing with your feet, not your hips. The gluts and back should rise together. Once past the shins, pull the gluts in to get the bar to your knees. Then straighten your back to finish the lift.
>>36052596
Not all of us can activate our secret retard strength whenever we want like you
>>36053023
Good job.
>>36053058
constructive criticism on my /fit/? t-thanks m8
>>36047686
This man is playing with fire.
>>36053067
R-really? Thanks anon.
I've done it for 10-12 before. I think I could hit 4pl8 and hit elite status, but I'm scared of snap city.
>>36053023
looks fine
>>36048589
follow the bottom two rows of pic related twice a day until you can sit comfortably in an ATG squat and dance around
I made a face watching this
jesus man
>>36047686
Deload and push off with your hams, rather than pulling off the ground with your lower back.
You're ego lifting, so lower the weight before you end up with a herniated disc.
>>36053023
Your hips are slightly too fast. This will cause your hamstrings to grow weaker compared to your quads/back.
No snap city for you though.
>>36048556
looking up on the deadlift is fine, just don't hyperextend the neck.
>>36052921
start with your hips higher and the bar closer to your mid-foot.
I have a problem with balance when deadlifting, even with low weights. I find it hard to keep my weight in one vertical axis, and it often shifts to my heals or toes.
What do?
>>36056524
Work on hip mobility and follow a good linear pickup of the weight.
If you are losing your balance maybe you should work on placing your feet in a better position.
>>36047686
go on fit every day,
see people talking about doing huge deadlifts
400's seems common as fuck as if everyone's pulling it for reps
see first thread with proof of peoples deadlifts and everyone's struggling with 315
so much fucking lies goes through this place
everyone complaining about people roiding being cheaters when half of you are lying about your fucking lifts
>>36056454
Stop talking about things you have no clue about.
Faster rising hips or a higher hip positioning shifts the load from the quads to the hamstrings.
So this will not cause weak hamstrings.
>>36052596
This >>36051737 is not 3 plate diddy is more like 4.25-4.5 plate ish.
>>36053023
Hips look too high
This thread is just a troll about a trip on plg.
The op is him a year ago here he is now https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jmMwNwZmGZ4
>>36057224
They're not.
He has a short torso compared to his long legs.
That will mean a high hip starting position.
>>36047686
>T shirt says "Just do it!"
>Literally cannot do it.
Top kek
>>36053058
youre wrong, his hips rise because theyre too low to begin with. his back is nowhere near parallel and is actually pretty correct after the hips have risen.
