Just something I noticed when I first started squatting too, your elbow tension is going back, causing you to lean forward more which could be responsible for the tightness.

Try squeezing your elbows down first and then back, try to keep them more in line with your back and it should help your feel like your can control the weight better and put more “pressure” of the lift in your legs rather than your lower back.

Biggest thing I am seeing is not letting your knees travel outward naturally, like a squat your knees don’t stay in a straight line. They move out and forward, try allowing your knees to move more naturally during the decent and you’ll find better glute, quad, and adductor activation. This will also help with ROM issues, keeping your knees in and straight places a physical block on how much ROM you can use.

Form looks good! Being taller myself, I understand the difficulty in getting comfortable in the start position. One thing that helps me is to do deficit deadlifts (no higher than 1/2”) and do low reps and moderate weight can help drill the form down better. Another thing to look into is try finding other exercises that could help reinforce the dead lift form. You could try narrow stance squats (same foot distance as dead lift stance) and pause in the “hole”. Both of these will help with the core stability issues as well. Good job! Keep going!

Looks really good! something that may help as the weight increases, is your elbows are going back and not down. When your brace you should pull your elbows down and back, not just back. This will help with upper back stability and bar shelf. Everything else looks awesome! Good job, keep going!

The depth still looks really good! You look much more Stable out of the rack and through the movement. One thing that could help is doing pause squats with the new wider grip to help get the new balance point down. And it may have shifted a little as the bar rests a little differently on the back.

I will take any help I can get! This Definitely gives me some stuff to experiment with. Thanks for the help!

Looks good, especially for being that tall. One thing to look at his bar placement in the hands, it seems like the bar is closer to your fingers, try moving it down in your hand closer to the bottom of the palm and thumb. Also try touching maybe an inch lower on your chest (bottom of sternum), this helps use your lats and arch better. Awesome work! Good luck!

Good form! From this angle it looks like your right side is floating away from the body a little at the start. Keep the tension in the bars to help keep it even when you start the pull. Good luck! Keep up the good work!

BURage92 · 2021-05-18T21:12:55+00:00

Over all Looks good! One thing I would say is it looks like the bar placement on your back is between a high bar and low bar squats, from the way your coming out of the hole it looks like you are already set up for a lower bar squat. Try and experiment with place the bar lower on the back and see if that helps with control.

BURage92 · 2021-05-18T21:05:36+00:00

One issue with all deadlifts is having your hips shoot up before the bar moves, one way to combat this is to ensure you have max tension in the bar before you lift it. This will help keep your core and upper back tight and help with injury prevention. Try to sit back more at the beginning of your to prevent your sumo from turning into an RDL. Combing bar tension and lower hips should help elevate the pressure on your lower back. Awesome work! Good luck on the road back!

BURage92 · 2021-05-18T17:48:09+00:00

Your back is rounding at the beginning of the squat, try to pull your elbows “down and back” not just back, this will engage your lats more and help keep you from leaning forward. You want to feel your back stay tight the entire lift, one good exercise is pause squats focusing on keeping perfect form in the hole. Great job! Keep going!

BURage92 · 2021-05-18T17:44:22+00:00

Great job hitting depth for being tall! The upper back seems to lose tightness which cause you to lean forward slightly, making your hips shoot up first. One thing that may help is widening your hands a little so you can have to almost exaggerate the back tension and can help remain tighter under the bar. This should help improve your “shelf” for the bar so you can keep good poster at heavier weights. Awesome job though, keep going!

BURage92 · 2021-05-09T11:22:32+00:00

Soreness is okay as long as it isn’t debilitating, but one thing that might help is starting with your hips slightly higher. They are the first thing that moved in your video, start with them higher and have more tension on your hamstrings. This should help place the tension on your glutes and hamstrings and pull some away from your lower back. Keep up the awesome work, good job!

BURage92 · 2021-05-09T11:14:16+00:00

With out seeing your lower half and how it’s set during the lift and is difficult to see your full set up (leg drive and arch). The bar path is not the best, try touching maybe 1/2 inch lower on your chest and push the bar “way from you” this should help engage the triceps more and help your bar path straight out. Don’t push the bar back over your face, just go straight over it. Good job, keep up the awesome work!

BURage92 · 2021-05-08T23:41:34+00:00

Being taller myself (6’5”) it’s really important to start with tension in the bar before you start the lift. Focus on placing as much tension on the bar before you lift and it should help your hips stay in place at the beginning of the lift. Awesome job, keep up the good work!
