Hello everyone,
Can I please get some feedback on my latest deadlift form {no. 3 below}
I am a beginner and started going to the gym consistently since Aug 1st. I had a terrible deadlift from, which I found out after watching Alan Thrall's videos (which then led me to Dr. Austin Baraki's video on deadlift mistakes).
I started watching Alan's and then Mark Rippetoe's videos to correct my form. I am following the 5 steps of deadlift from SS. Two main problems: (1) The bar keeps moving because the platform has too many broken areas under the rubber mat; the mat is dented too. (2) I have difficulty keeping my lower back flat/straight. I am trying to replicate Alan's form but failing miserably.
Here is a video before I knew what a correct form looks like.
1. First week: 125 lbs (3 sets x 7 reps) -
Observation: Hips too low, form not consistent
Here is a video of me trying to learn the five steps of SS. My speed is a little slow because I am just trying to learn the technique.
2. Third week: 125 lbs (4 sets x 7 reps) -
Observation: Lower back not flat
Here is the current state after a few workout sessions. Please provide feedback on this at least.
3. Fourth week: 165 lbs (3 sets x 6 reps) -
Observation: Learnt cue: Push belly between thighs to get a flat lower back; still doesn't look accurate, hips may be a bit low
