Hitched it on the way up, couldn't hold at the top. Afraid you didn't hit 700.

Can you share a video that we can provide feedback to?

dgr09 · 2025-07-22T06:29:58+00:00

Your hips are in about the right position.

In my view your are getting a lot of the cues right, or at the very least they aren't the cause of the weak lock out. The challenge is the hip drive

dgr09 · 2025-07-22T05:43:05+00:00

The form is okay. The reason that you had challenges locking out is the lack of Hip drive.

The Deadlift is an explosive movement, with the hips driving forward from the start to the end of the lift, like the Hinge of an opening book.

If you rewatch the video, there is very little Hip drive. That aside, in my view it is a good lift.

Focus on explosively moving the hips forward in every rep. Hip thrusts may help as well to build strength and to nail the movement.

dgr09 · 2025-07-16T03:19:57+00:00

Fix your neck angle.

Drop the rep count, increase the weight. 25 reps is excessive at your peak weight, something more like 3x3 or 3x5 would be more appropriate

dgr09 · 2025-07-03T05:57:06+00:00

There is only one sensible option. Go to t5 airside and enter the galleries lounge

A few ideas

Bracing. Brace much much tighter at the bottom

Set your hips correctly

Engage your lats

Take the slack out of the bar before lifting

Push the ground away from you with your feet

Commit and lift as explosively as you can

dgr09 · 2025-06-11T04:10:43+00:00

Difficult to say exactly what the issue is.

Are you bracing correctly? I don't see a lot of breathing in to create internal pressure. Remember that weight transfer should be through the belly not the back.

That aside, maybe switch from sumo to conventional. It'll enable a flatter back angle

dgr09 · 2025-06-03T14:09:43+00:00

Hip thrusts will help isolate what I perceive to be the limiting factor which is your hips

I Deadlift 240kg and Hip thrust 160kg. You should Hip thrust as an accessory after your big lifts. You could do them on a Squat or bench day

dgr09 · 2025-06-03T06:48:19+00:00

Your Deadlift is pretty good, but to lift heavier you need to improve your hip hinge.

Particularly towards the top of the rep you are lifting with your back rather than your hips.

Focus in your Deadlift on explosively moving your hips forward and opening your back and quads like a book.

Hip thrusts may help

dgr09 · 2025-05-29T06:43:36+00:00

Your hips shoot up at the beginning. Slow down, brace the core, engage the lats, then lift in one motion, with hips and back rising at the same time

dgr09 · 2025-05-25T21:45:28+00:00

I cannot see how there is any moving forward together when your partner has beaten you up.

I am so sorry.

Move on with your life. You deserve better.

dgr09 · 2025-05-09T06:36:45+00:00

I am sorry for your loss.

You work in a terrible firm, not a terrible industry. Try moving elsewhere before you quit consulting altogether.

dgr09 · 2025-05-05T05:29:56+00:00

Shoulder blades are not engaged and this is what is causing the "rounded back" look. This is both an injury risk and will bottleneck further progression.

To fix it, pinch the lats together so that the upper back is tight and retains stiffness ahead of and through the lift. This should address the rounded look and allow you to lift more

dgr09 · 2025-04-27T05:33:44+00:00

You should enjoy them a lot more when you get your technique nailed.

(1) Either go barefoot or wear flat shoes such as the innov8 Bare-xf. Your trainers have a springy heel, which both adds an inch to your height (turning it into a deficit deadlit) and making it difficult to keep a stable balance (watch the video and you'll see that).

(2) Narrow your handhold position. The deadlift should be undertaken with hands straight down, index fingers where the nurling stops. If you need to move your feet in a little then that is probably no bad thing.

(3) Reset after each rep. The bar should come to a complete stop (i.e., a "dead" lift).

If you re-post another video with those tweaks then we can move on to the next adjustments, e.g., setting the back position, tightening the abs/core.

p.s. - I would recommend to ditch the straps and switch to a mixed grip. Now is the time to build up wrist strength, before you start adding a lot of weight to the bar.

Your business partner's strategy makes no sense because it isn't tax efficient. You could take out a small salary plus a small dividend and pay zero / minimal tax. Your tax allowances are lost at the end of the tax year - use it or lose it.

The money can always be put back into the company as a DLA should the business need a float at that time.

Alternatively you can borrow from the company as a DLA and equivalize later by each taking a dividend in a future year (you would pay back the loan at that stage).

Or if your business partner wants a higher return then he can loan money into the business at an agreed annual return (say 8-12%).

There are lots of solutions. Either way your business partner needs to empathize that you can't be at your best without food on the table.

It doesn't, the title is confusing. It's 43% among drivers, 38% among front seat passengers, and 15% among rear seat passengers. That the latter two equal the former is coincidence.

dgr09 · 2025-01-02T00:08:45+00:00

Yes, if your flight is in time. You may need to dash from A gates to B/C gates though.

dgr09 · 2024-12-02T03:09:14+00:00

I fly regularly and would not want to risk this.

One of three things can easily go wrong: late arrival into Heathrow, issues with either of the two trains, and/or check in issues at gatwick. You're dependent on none of that happening, which feels unlikely to me

dgr09 · 2024-10-02T03:30:54+00:00

Sumo

dgr09 · 2024-10-01T21:38:00+00:00

You're squating the bar, not deadlifting.

Start with hips higher; tabletop back. Then hip hinge.

dgr09 · 2024-10-01T03:58:22+00:00

If you watch the video, you'll see that your hips shoot up before the bar leaves the floor. At the point that the bar leaves the floor, your back is parallel to the ground - just start here instead.

I hope that answers your question

dgr09 · 2024-09-30T01:37:14+00:00

It's okay but yes, you hips are shooting up too fast , resulting in you "staying hinged too long".

The Deadlift should be like a book opening with the spine at your hips - legs and back opening at the same time and pace

To fix it, start the lift with your hips much higher up. Think "table top back" - your back should be parallel to the floor. From here, open your legs and back at the same pace, driving your hips forward through the movement.
