When I set up before the lift my lower back is still rounded even if I try to get really low. I don't understand how that happens; maybe my lower back is weak?? |

| | | flexibility? If you can't get down there without flexing your lower back, it's probobly a flexibility issue. |

| | | Your hamstrings are prob too tight. Maybe your hip flexors too. You gotta make sure to stick your ass out like a stripper.
Pulling from the ground requires a lot of lower back strength. I notice you don't do much lower back work. Start doing GM's, reverse hypers, GHR's, pull throughs...etc

I will test my maximum next week and post my current and goal weight. However, I'm afraid I may have an unfair advantage since I just started doing deadlifts. I progress very quickly on new exercises. A 25 lb increase in 4 months doesn't seem like much. | I gave you the lightbulb, but now I am taking it back. Not to be mean but I am giving the lightbulb of coolness once the starting and goal weights are posted.  |

| | | This might be stating the obvious to some of you but a good tip is to lift barefoot. Getting your feet closer to the ground will allow you to lift slightly more |

| | OK! I want to play too. I started a pm to you tony- but maybe there are others that don't know alot about this lift too.
Can you post a link to a good deadlfit video so we can try to make sure not to get hurt. I have a fitness level that injury could take away- and i can;t afford that- but i will risk it. Adding some strrength before i go into a 35 week IRONMAN training would be good.
I will be at the gym today to hang out, no working out though, and will talk around,, but truthfully the overall info from here seems to be better.
thanks.

| | | yeah, those articles are good! I don't see many articles that go over how to flex your upper back in a deadlift.. getting the hang of that really helped the start of my deadlift. |
