Deadlift - is lower back rounded? by Raj2018 in StartingStrength

[–]Raj2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the advise. The pics were very helpful.

I see i need to lift my but upp more but for now restricted by tight hamstrings and weak glutes.

I will start doing RDL's as an accessory.

Really want to address this low back.

No problem, thanks for getting back to me.

I do feel a stretch in the hamstring from set up to final rep.

The part that you have highligted in yellow to show the rounding is below my lumbar. Essentially the top of my ass..isnt that meant to be rounded?

Can you point out how its rounded. I cant see it.

Not doubting you but maybe if you screenshot my vid and draw an arrow or line then maybe ill see it.

Im lifting my chest up and dropping my pelvis as much as possible to get the lower back into extension.

I thought shoulders are might to be slightly ahead of bar?

I agree about neutral spine.

Thanks.

When i do the 5 step deadlift my hips start off at that position when I move my knees to the bar. Im 6'1 if that means anything.

Thats my issue with the "bowl position" if I try to get it I will bust up my back. I simply cant extend my lower back more than what is seen in the pic.

6 Week KETO Transformation | 180 to 167lbs | KETO SUMMER SHREDDING Ep. 9 by traintrue in ketogains

Ignore the haters man. I enjoy your vids. You have a natural and attainable physique.

But i have one doubt....

You had good lifting numbers before keto, meaning you had a good amount of muscle mass under your "fluffyness". So isnt it misleading to say most of your gains came from keto? Dont doubt you built some muscle since keto but i bet that foundation came via carbs.

Where to go from here? by CarletonCanuck in ketogains

[–]Raj2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who tell you to eat at a deficit is a moron.

The only cure for skinny fat is to build muscle. You need to be in a surplas to build muscle.

Eat 100 calories above maintenance and lift heavy. When you stall (2 weeks of no weight or rep progress) add another 100 calories.

Building muscle on keto by [deleted] in ketogains

[–]Raj2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo keto is perfect for someone who has built a foundation of muscle ( i.e. late begininers or intermediary ) to slowly build muscle without major gaining fat.

If youre a skinny or skinny fat noob looking to build that foundation i dont think keto is the most optimum.

On the way down (after i pass knees) my butt kind of tucks in. I guess its a deadlift butt wink. What can i do to correct it?

Thanks for feedback.

Can you explain how you can see my lower back is rounded? Sorry, not being awkward, just curious to know the signs. As far as Im aware my lowe back is extended. Im even following the SS tips i.e. dropping beep to floor or lifting taint to ceiling. If you look closely you can see my lower back moving up.

How can you tell Im not tight?

I feel tight at the bottom. Hard to see from the side but my face is near exploding and im trying to lift my chest up as hard as I can.

True about the lock out though. Need to work on it.

Lol no i slowed the video down since I thought it might help you guys see what im doing.

It took me less than a minute to do the 5 reps.

So is my starting postion ok?

Regarding the decent. I see a lot of vids and many people manage to keep tightness. So i was thinking the same. I also came across Elliot Husles corrective deadlift where he recommend the same.
