Hello Doctors,
Ive been deadlifting again after a while and have been doing a linear progression. I notice that my lower back seems to be doing most of the work when i deadlift. I use the 5 step deadlift that i saw on alan thralls youtube channel and found it easy to get into a consistent position. Should I be concerned that my lower back seems to be taking on most of the load while my hamstrings are not sore at all the next day? When Im setting up i do make sure to hip hinge and lean back off my toes to try to involve more of my hamstring but even though i feel tightness in the setup I still feel the lower back doing most of the work. I have a short torso, long femurs and long arms if that contributes at all to your answer. The weights are also still submaximal. Thanks!!!
