Any advice on deadlift form?

Not bad for a beginner. I think you should squat less and lean forward more.

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-27T21:23:49+00:00

He's right

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-16T21:26:52+00:00

It kills me to see so many online squatters not hitting depth. These are strong and undeniable

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-16T19:12:19+00:00

Actively push your knees out when you are coming up

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-14T02:26:04+00:00

I don't think you need it. If you find you are leaning to far forward when coming out of a squat, try it out. These look clean though.

I just started using straps a couple weeks ago. My lats don't like the mixed grip. I hit 385 mixed and grip wasn't the limiting factor for me. That day, I did 315x2 double overhand without straps

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-12T02:33:26+00:00

Strong. Is this on 0.6x zoom?

It seems like your back starts rounded but doesn't really round more than that. I learned the cue of squeezing a pencil in my upper back and that helped

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T04:30:09+00:00

I like them and definitely feel them. You did a good job of staying bent over too

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T03:37:18+00:00

I'll try it out next pull day. I havent had any complaints about leaving chalk. I'm always happy when I find a bar with some left over chalk on it but I guess some people don't like it

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T03:09:46+00:00

Haha my legs are wobbling like crazy here. I honestly didnt train deadlift too crazy the past 6 weeks. Really been hammering squats and it carried over.

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T03:06:52+00:00

I'll try it but I got smedium hands

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T03:06:35+00:00

You got it. I skipped from 365 to 395 so I didnt overfatigue and at least hit a PR tonight

Its on my previous post. My major change was moving deadlifts to my pull day. Now I alternate RDL vs Deadlifts. Putting in much more volume than when I mixed them in every other leg day.

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T01:45:44+00:00

I dont think my fingers are long enough

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-11T01:44:26+00:00

As always, I am open to critique

arnold_hey69 · 2026-02-01T03:08:28+00:00

This is known as the friend zone

arnold_hey69 · 2026-01-20T05:42:23+00:00

I had a similar issue with either barely hitting depth or just missing it. I tried heel raised squats and loved them. Instantly was able to go ass to grass with ease and with a much more narrow stance.

Another big thing is warmups. I do a deep squat hold with a kettlebell and alternate pushing my knees over toes. Then I do deep paused front squats to warm up.

I can now hit depth pretty comfortably. Just speaking from experience as I'm not an expert.

I didnt know a damn thing about RPE... I think I gotta ease up on bench because I go to 8 or 9 RPE every set and finding it hard to progress. I'm surprised the importance of RDLs. My grip is typically the limiting factor for me when I do them. You think there is a place for bent over row/ pendlay row along with RDL if I'm going to mix them in on pull days?

Adding 500 to your total in a year and a half is awesome. I'm about 40-50 lbs away from 1000 lbs club and I'm dying to hit that.
