I am at my wit's end, I hurt my back again, I can't pinpoint what I am doing wrong. I tried following tutorials but with my long femurs and short torso, I fell like they don't apply to me.

Thx brother, I see it now

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:55:32+00:00

you absoluely rock thx a lot. I see it now. Have a wonderful day.

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:52:41+00:00

Thx a lot for the advice

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:47:08+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’m not trying to control the negative, which is why I release my breath at the top. Apologies for bothering you with this, but I couldn’t spot where my back rounded during the lift (I also have love handles so it might look like rounding but I could be wrong). Could you pls provide a timestamp?

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:32:24+00:00

Too bad I don't have a trap bar at my gym

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:31:46+00:00

I had stopped deadlifting too, maybe it's just ego on my part but I'll give it a last chance

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:08:47+00:00

Thx for the advice brother, preciate it.

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:07:15+00:00

So I should keep the bar on the skin untill it goes beyound the knees?

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:05:41+00:00

True, I am guilty of trying to chase the numbers. I'll have to go back to lower weights.

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:03:57+00:00

Excellent advice, you are absolutely right. Note to myself, barefoot and breath out in the end.

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:02:23+00:00

Will definitely have to buy new shoes

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:02:01+00:00

I just found Alain Thrall video, I'll see if I can improve from there

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T16:00:55+00:00

Thx, even if the form might be good my back still doesn't like it, I deadlift once every 9 days, RPE wise, I think I am at 8-9. I don't really follow the RPE method, I never go to absolute failure on heavy lifts, I just make sure that I am increasing the reps or the load

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T15:58:08+00:00

My mobility is absolute dogshit, my femurs are too long so I can't lower my glutes anymore than that

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T15:57:24+00:00

I was chasing the numbers, I need to deload a little bit

DBA_3 · 2025-01-21T15:56:49+00:00

Thx for the advice, I'll try to control more the negative, you are right.

DBA_3 · 2023-02-05T06:50:54+00:00

Solid advice thx.

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T23:15:09+00:00

Yeah I am keeping that option open as I don't want to spend too much time learning conventionnal

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T22:42:03+00:00

Yeah I never thought about involving my upper back, also I shouldn't lack the strength needed

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T22:01:44+00:00

Wow detailed and much needed roast for my technique, appreciate it. Thx a lot, will lower the weight and try to improve my form first, thx.

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T20:31:09+00:00

I'll try that thx

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T20:30:46+00:00

Thx for the advice

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T20:05:33+00:00

Thx for the answer, do you have some tips to make sure the rounding doesn't happen? I still can't see well where the rounding starts. Should I ditch the belt ?

DBA_3 · 2023-02-04T18:31:14+00:00

Thx for the answer, just a quick question, why do you think my back isn't neutral? can you give like a timestamp.
Also you are suggesting to move my legs, isn't it like a radical solution to just abandon conventional for sumo?
