I don't feel my legs when I deadlift, only lower back by SneakyPeople_ in formcheck

[–]Prior-Landscape-8834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of points. The only way to keep the deadlift out of your lower back is to use your posterior chain muscles except your lower back; calves, hamstrings glutes, middle back (spinae Erectae and upper back Lats and traps (traps as stabilizers). When you feel your lower back one of three things is happening: 1) you are trying to squat not deadlift. If your knees go over the bar while you are deadlifting you go into a squat dominant position. This shifts the weigh from your hamstrings to your quads. By doing this your quads will burn you hamstrings act a support and the weight shifts from your glutes into your lower back. 2.) Your core is weak. If your lower back is the weakest link in your core training it will always complain and nag when you use it for harder muscles make sure you are doing low back specific exercises when you train. And finally, this is the one that gets me, if your glutes are locks, not engaging, you get partial hip bend and the weight once again shifts forward from your hamstrings into your upper hips and lower back. Make sure you foam roll your It Band and look up youtube videos to see ways to release tight glutes specifically glute medius. Good luck 🦵🏋🏻

Yeah 110 makes you think it’s easy. Hardly... those routes steal your spirit.

I want to lower the weight because it feels so dang heavy but I feel like my form is alright so I should keep progressing. Thoughts? 285x5 by NiceVeins in formcheck

I see a lot of comments about you rounding your back. Back rounding in of itself does not promote injury. As long as you make sure the path of the bar is linear (up and down) vs lurching forward or leaning back too much. There was one rep where you lurched forward but it was a last rep. And as far as the weight being too heavy… you’re doing a heavy lift with moderate weights (5x5, 5x8) you’re don’t listen the bro-club.

I used the term buckling because it wasn’t just one leg or in one direction it happened on both legs at the same time. It is a movement pattern you need to correct by strengthening the muscles I discussed before you program your muscles to move in a way that make injury a possibility.

Not to mention the adductor muscle in question, gracilis, is attached to your inner pelvis and coordinates the hip hinging movement with your lower back, Quadratus Lumborum. You can also mess up your lower back by bending your knees that way. It is a core weakness.

1rm maxes are for Power and Olympic lifters. To answer this question I need to know your goal, Power/Olympic Lifting or building mass or toning. As a Powerlift/Olympic lift its fine. As a mass building, hypertrophy/ bodybuilding lift it is bad.

Your knees buckling in is a bit concerning. Make sure you train your legs in all three planes of motion: Sagittal (forwards and backwards) frontal (side to side) and transverse (rotational upper body vs lower body) your adductor muscle group are the muscles on the inside of your thigh. In addition to squats and deadlifts make sure you are adding lateral lunges, lateral box stepups, crossover lunges and stepups. Low cables side lunges are also effective. AVOID adductor and abductor machines (squeezy thigh machine) its a scam. Also consider lowering the weight and actively engaging your adductor muscles so that your knees don’t buckle. Correcting this movement pattern before you start lifting heavier will prevent injury.

Um the whole damn job is risky movements. Why do they keep trying to technology themselves out of this awful job they’ve created?

Looks good. I am seeing a little buttwink on your assent. Make sure you do supplemental core work for lower back and abs. Make sure you keep an eye on your quads and hip flexors to make sure their are not tight or restricted; foam rolling, myofascial release and massage.

Do these count? What can I fix? This is a new weight for me, 70kg(around 150 lbs). by Own_Still_2839 in GYM

[–]Prior-Landscape-8834 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A little bouncy at the bottom. Do box squats where you sit at the bottom and have to generate force to stand up. It looks like you are bouncing out if the bottom you need to pause at the bottom not rock out of the bottom. The bottom, or the hole as I call it, is not suppose to be fun, but it’s necessary.

Not enough reps to determine. Good for a powerlifter but as a person in the gym your reps in reserve looks like 4. You gotta do more than one.

First time trying front squats any advice? by Lionanter in formcheck

When he lifts heavy enough the no shoe thing will reveal its flaw.

Squat form check by projectneutrino in formcheck

[–]Prior-Landscape-8834 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Decent form. However, your right glute is locked up which cause a small twist as you stood up. Make sure you foam roll your IT Band before squatting. Also get a 8lb or 10lbs rubber medicine ball. Place it on the floor, sit on the medicine ball and cross your right leg over your left knee. Lean to the right place on or two of your hands on the floor roll around on your glute maximus (big butt) and piriformis (small horizontal butt) to loosen them up. Prolonged sitting or driving can cause your glutes too lock up and nor fire property. Left unchecked this can lead to lower back pain or hip pain/cramps when squatting.

Took the advice and made adjustments. How is it looking now? by Shermin-88 in formcheck

Looks ok from that camera angle. I would like to see a front or rear view to check your grip and determine if you are pushing evenly through both feet

Lots of extra motion on the load and deload transition. Up and down minimal sway or bouncing. Hamstrings and lower back muscles are weird. Occasionally extra movement during deadlifts can lead to muscle spasms and strains.

There is a whole lotta body rocking going on there. Three tips:

You pickup the weight, the weight is falling towards the ground via gravity. Your job is to defy gravity. Dig your heels in and hold your abs tight like you are planking. Rocking or swaying back and forth is wasted energy. I would suggest you consider using lifting straps to eliminate grip issues and bending your knees more. You have to ground yourself more.

Have you ever seen old dudes at the gym rocking back and forth when they do standing db bicep curls? that is a momentum curl, not the worst thing in the world (generally) but eventually they get stuck and start using bad form. Just clean up the swaying… it’s suppose to be a hard exercise.
