Thats not a bad stiff leg DL.Just lower your hips a little more,keep the chest up more, and you are good.And dont look at the camera, look forward.

Thanks for the link..

I'm looking at the mirror behind the camera, trying to make sure I'm standing up enough..

I'll work on "sitting" more, though, and getting my UPPER body more vertical..

Check out the link before you do this

Well I don't mean to turn it into a front hack squat. But your upper body should not be paralell to the floor. This places huge stress on the back and pretty much takes the legs out of the equation. By being somewhere in between vertical and paralell to the floor you should find your strongest position where your legs are lifting in conjunction with your back.

I looked at it again and it seems as though you are pulling with youlr shoulders quite in front of the bar. I think this is part of what is pulling you forward and forcing you to extend your legs and bend down more. I believe your shoulders should be in line vertically with the bar.

and in that link, check out all of the cressey links

Arch your lower back.

The link that Kane gave you contains everything you need to know to learn how to deadlift properly between the post itself and the links at the end.

All these 'cues' are just going to confuse you because you don't know which one is most important or to address first.

Looking in the mirror will mess you up. You need to learn your position through body awareness..proprioception.

If I recall way back when your deadlift position was better than it is now.

Edit*..Looked back through..i guess the deadlift problems never really got resolved.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

Here's what they looked like first time I taped them..



Here's what they looked like after I got back into them, trying to remember all the cues I'd read here before, and from the Rippentoe book..



And here's what they looked like after I got the cue to stay more vertical (which I took to mean taller, legs straighter):



The first ones I did look kinda like the last variation, don't they?

Back to the drawing board... *sigh*

10 min w/u run.

SQUATS

95x5x2
190x5x3 (remember, adding bar weight now)

Knees aren't sore today, either.. I'm trying to concentrate on shooting my bum out first, so there's less strain on the knees, as per Ross's tip (was it Ross?)..

Seems to be doing the trick!!

PRESS

70x5x2
130x5x3

ROW

80x5x2
140x5x3

Jesus my upper back and neck is sore today!

Gotta remember to look up with my EYES, not so much my neck..

Knees are fine, though! (knock on wood)

I think there was some strain from the squats and presses on the lower back, too..

Oh well, good strong back after a few months of this, hopefully..

Where is your grip in relation to the rings on the bar?

Deadlifts look better. You're getting your hips through very late.
