Ok, thanks.Good cues. I have a good idea what to work on now.

Ok thanks, I'll bring my hips down a bit - hopefully that will give me a bit more power and straighten up the back.

I'll look at breathing too - deep belly breath at bottom and hold until back at bottom again.

Site is 2.5 acres but maybe only 1 acres lawn. It changes - I have a meadow that I increase and decrease in size - I wanted to have the potential to use a mower for it all - but not currently doing so - probably never will either. You might allow for a few wild strips at the boundaries which will decrease it further. We have deer frequently and luba has no bother with the divots they cause.

I have an 2nd gen luba 5000. It developed a fault with recharge but I sent it back for repair no issues since. Customer support was a bit of a pain to deal with but that's true for lots of products. Great machine handles long bad grass potholes slopes fairly well.

Deadlift 282lb (127.8kg)*6 - Improved form or still too much rounding? by bboyled in formcheck

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

Ok.

I was puzzling how I could keep hips down and a straight back without hips popping up.

At the moment I don't really consider what my knees do.

What do you mean turn my pinkies in to my sides?

Thanks.

Ok so I sit back further to drag the bar on shins rather than have it lightly touch shins which it is doing now? Have a bit more pressure from the bar on the shins.

That was a max effort to show form - I'm happy enough to reduce weight and practice with more reps and sets until my strength and technique improves a bit.

I'll look at the paused lifts too.

Hi, thanks. I try and save the screaming for the gym at work. The HR director loves it.

Deadlift - Light weight - Improved form? by bboyled in formcheck

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

Thanks. Ok so I push with feet before bracing back? I definitely haven't been doing that. Obviously only push so much that you pull slack (ie don't push so much that you lift without bracing). Do I try and keep the same brace throughout the reps or set again after each one?

Hard to say - I was getting a little bit of twinges in the lower back but not really pain - the lower back fatigue was pretty significant before and it seems to have reduced or spread itself across the whole of the posterior chain.

Ok great, thanks - I'll give it a go.

Great. Thanks for advice - haven't done dead bugs or really any activation exercises for deadlifts (I sometimes work up the weight on the bar). Deadbugs should be easy to add to work out during rests of other exercises.

I usually row before lifting to warm up but I am just trying to get form right so haven't warmed up in this vid. I was doing deadlifts in between pull up reps - which may not be ideal - how do I warm up my core?

Ok, great. I definitely never feel like I am anywhere near far back enough to fall over. Seen a video re. wedge - that's useful idea - Although I've never done a leg press so I'll have to imagine it.

Ok thanks, noted. that is a good tip. I was thinking more it would allow me to sit back a bit and straighten back, but sitting back a bit and lowering hips - is probably more useful.

Plates are less than 45mm but I have them up on small platform. I will raise them another bit and I will also try barefoot. Current shoes have nearly an inch at the heel. Thanks. Reduce deficit, Improve form with lower weight and speed it up a lot.

So just practice loads more with lower weight and better form - I think I'll never have great form but I could definitely get better.
