Cheers. Although that conflicts with other information, which is what annoys me about deadlifts and squats.
Some say keep your head up, others say keep it neutral with your spine
Hehe, I'll bear it in mind
When you say head up, how high up? Presumably so it's not fully locked?
Have been mate
Hence breaking the 100kg barrier since doing my back in early this year. Squats have come along nicely as well now.Just had a blip yesterday that was all. And feedback is always welcome
I did 3x4x120kg last week. 140kg probably would go up but would be a real struggle
Rather work up to it, soon enough I've had issues previously working with deadlifts at 'high' reps, not sure what it is, but I find working with 4 reps much easier to keep form strict....Kind of a given I guess
Updated post 2 with album pics.
Then don't do high reps
I bet if someone put 140 on a bar and you didn't realise you would lift it with a little loss of form (which is to be expected). You are far too comfortable at the moment, no matter how hard you breathe out in your vids

Nope, its a compensatory pattern for weak spine control. You should be supporting your spine with trunk/core musculature and pressure, not bending it around to hang off end range bone and ligament.

FUUUUUUUUUUUU
If you're interested I'll dig up the relevant supporting info.

Breath out as hard as I want to
But yes, I'll play around with rep ranges, it was the first time in months I'd done that many reps, so hey.
@ice
I'm all for the info, I tend to keep my head in line with my spine if I can on deadlifts, sometimes forget mind
Everyones different though, while the mechanics of something like head positioning and the support on your spine should be a lot more universal for everyone, I personally find if I don't look up, then my back will round far easier, while as if I bring my head up, my chest will stay up and my back stays in position a lot easier
Thats because its a trigger point for you to force your chest up rather than you being in the right position to pull from naturally.
do it right and you might actually lift something

Burned
But in all pearness, Deadlift is the one lift I can actually move some weight
OH HELL NO!? I didn't just get gif'd from Delvis?!

I've found it's all personal preference. Looking up works for some, looking down works for others.
I've always found looking down during squats and deadlifts is more comfortable for me.
