Form Check Thread

Shameless bump. Slow night or just not interested /fit/?

You basically have perfect clean form. Not much advice I could give.

>humping

don't do that

>pulling it up

Is fine. Sort of

You are using your arms, which is actually desirable--they guide the bar to the rack in a controlled manner--but you are engaging them too early. Order of operation at contact should be legs/hips/traps--->shoulders and arms. As it is, you are underutilizing your legs and hips in extension, which is resulting in the 'pulling up' rather than the explosivity you want.

It looks okay, though. Bring your feet in a little bit and point your toes/knees out more. Hips lower, and relatively loose, traps engaged from the start. Butt a little bit further back in the catch.

Alright, thanks a lot for the tips. I will be sure to remember this my next session. Could you explain more how a narrower stance would help? As the weight increases I will have to do the catch at a lower position, right?

I normally deadlift from a very low position, but it was hard to get so far down with this little weight. I'll do my best though.

Narrower stance for your start position. Sorry that want clear. This will allow you to hit better pulling positions.

Ah right. I think I understand what I need to do, looking at picture I see the difference between my start position and athlete's positions. I have used my regular deadlift stance which is quite wide. Thanks again.
