Can you guys check my deadlift form please

bulldozer · 19-03-2007, 07:26 PM

Im a bit worried about my deadlift form, I train alone in my garage at home so have nobody to check my form, so i did a little video of a warm up set and id appreciate your views on my form, i was gonna do a work set too as i feel thats when my form breaks down a bit more, but it started to spit with rain, typical !!

What concerns me is im leaning forward too much and am not pushing throw my heels, but your see all in the video.

I had to do it outside as the lighting in my garage is too shi*e.

And no wish cracks please lol

Im no expert on form....but I watched the video of your home gym, and that looked pretty cool.

looks fine mate. try it without touching the ground after each rep to further isolate the lumbar.

I also train at home at the moment and am worried about form on my deadlifts, never thought of videoing it, gotta get me some bigger plates, dont have to drop down so low to pick em up!
Were you wearing a belt?

Thanks for the comments guys.

No i wasnt wearing a belt mate. I was only warming up, i dont tend to wear a belt even on my work sets. Only if im trying a one rep max or something.

Looks all good to me bud.

How low should you take the deadlift?

(Me thinks the trainer has given me some wrong form, as I'm only taking it to the knees...)

I find wearing a belt on the lighter weight's help's me lift more on my heavyer set's later on in the session. I feel that wearing a belt has stopped me from getting injured, my back get's a lot of work from good morning's and stepping back with a lot of weight on the squat. Do what suit's you best and just enjoy it.

Great video!!!! In the off season when I dont have a comp I may do some light sets without a belt. When I have a comp I tend to use one on the very first set. Its all up to you and how you feel.

Thanks chris, was hoping you especially would have a look, think ill invest in a belt and experiment in that case, Thanks again.
