Thanks

Says its a private video.

yeah, it's private. Put it up as not private and I'll take a look.

now its public. Please critique.
Thanks

Side view would be better. Umm I guess you have cool shoes... Besides dropping the bar on the second rep it was ok to me.

thanks tony. I like my shoes because they give good support when doing deadlifts. I know side would be better but i might do it next time. sorry. Any other people critque?

The only thing I can see is that your hips raise up before the weight leaves the ground.

When you pull, don't start with your legs, start with your head. Like you are being pulled up by a string in the top of your head.

From that view, That is all I could tell.

I do not see anything wrong with dropping the weight from the top. I do it all the time.

thank you!
also i dont know why but sometimes when I go heavy my low back hurts after I am done DLing but after like 10 minutes its fine. Is this because of the dl?
i always look at the mirror on my side to see if my back is straight then I do my deadlift, so I dont think I cave in.

is pain the low back normal? should it happen?

Could be. Low back is like any other muscle. When you tax it, it gets tight and sore.

It may be that you are just making your back do more work by letting your hips raise up before the bar leaves the floor.

A lot of of guys have this issue because they do not do enough assistance exercises to strengthen their low back. Back extensions, reverse hypers, good mornings, RDL. These exercises can really increase back strength, which solves the "my back hurts after deadlifts" most of the time.

hmm ya i dont do any "extra back" excercises. I do leg excercise that use back but probably not enough. I also do cleans. And cable rows but nothing specifically for back..
I dont know how to do GM's and i know they are dangerous. My gym is pretty bad so like what can i do that needs say Dbs, BB, and stuff like that.

I have it on good authority that the 11th commandment was 'Thou must perform Good Mornings at least once a week to stregthen your posterior chain'

Moses only took it out on his way down the hill 'cos he was a wuss, he made the Israelites do back extensions on a swiss ball instead after he read on Wikipedia that it put the spine under less stress. That's probably why God made them roam the desert for a hundred years

The moral of that story is GM's are fantastic and so long as you use correct form they aren't dangerous

Do GMs, just do them right.

And yeah, like G said your hips raise before you start pulling. Although, I think your hips were pretty low to begin with, but that could be because you have different limb lenghts than I do. And yeah, start doing some assistance exercises that hits your lower back.

ya im going to have to start doing that. damn my back hurts today. IT doesnt hurt when I am just sitting around but when i bend down or just bend to grab something it hurts for a little bit. I hope its fine by Monday.

i really should do GM's but my season is so close and I dont want my back to be in real damage. I was thinking of doing Hypers. OR somethign else that isnt as dangerous, what you guys recommend?

I recommend GMs. Get another side view of your dead, maybe you're flexing your lower back. You shouldn't be in serious pain.

^agreed

Also a bad deadlift can be even more dangerous than a GM in what it can do so fear it, just go for it.
