The Syla5 Files

yeah knees is a thing i have had for a while. Possibly linked to lack of glute drive?

Going to keep practicing this technique but dial the weight back so and ramp it up slowly so that i can focus on the form still.
 
I used to not really think about my technique for deadlift but since re-learning this year and using a first/second pull approach it's much easier to highlight where form or strength issues need work as it's just inherintely easier to breakdown & identify the lift.

Main problem: Your lumbar isn't flat in set up or pull initiation. Then you drive directly into this slack.

How can you see this? or is it something you know from watching the movement, because when i watch the vids back all i see is a flat back, except on the failed 140 rep :(

Or not? :p I know you aren't pulling like that!
 
I could be wrong, but maybe give this a watch:


As you set up, you're back isnt straight, then you use the bar to straighten it (explains it better in the vid). That's what it initially looked like.

Edit - Yea, like what Delvis put up.
 
Well that ^ (edit: Delvis' picture) which kind of makes a top down set up redundant. But also just before you pull there is a slight deviation from neutral, which you drive into.

It's definitely there.

that is literally before any effort has been made to have a flat lumbar. I flatten my lumbar as i wind back in to the pull position. So by the time i pull my back looks flat.

Actually - looking at that, your upper back is slackening off, too.

But hey, I haven't deadlifted in a long time, so this could be rubbish. :( :D
 
at what point is the amount of rounding so small that its insignificant?

I dont question that i round during the lift but as can be seen in that still, is that a smaller issue then its being made out to be, and actually there is something else funtamentally wrong with my lift?
 
MWOD, talk about setting up with a neutral spine, bracing and then bending foward so there are less forces on your spine before you load it by picking up the bar. I think this may have been the topic of a few misunderstandings and might not be relevant as I can't watch the video at work.

I like to set my spine before I bend down, and use straightening my legs/pushing my knees back to load my hamstrings before the lift rather than winching my back in to neutral.

Hehehe... I love this video, as it offer no insight into how anybody who's ever been an Olympic lifter trains with straps. :)
