Is this a dangerous back position in the deadlift? I feel like it should be flatter but this is just how my back ends up.

Is this a dangerous back position in the deadlift? I feel like it should be flatter but this is just how my back ends up. Is this dangerous for the low back or no?

    I get mild back pain from similar posture so I lean back and lower my hips, kind of like the bottom of a squat, and look up as I start to pull. This seems to use my legs/glutes more and back less.

      Mild low back pain you mean? Or just regular back pain?

        Yeah low back pain. Also after lifting with a round back I could feel the lumbar extensors were very fatigued and I didn't feel much fatigue in other muscles used in DL.

          I think my hips might be a tad high as well , but that could be from my lifting shoes. I'll try to remember to lower them a bit

          Do more core work, also focus on leg drive. So if try a stance that allows you to push hard with your quads. For me, that was slightly wider then my prior stance.

          With good core bracing and leg drive you do a hell of a lot less pulling with the low back in the start.

            On this, should you not really use your low back at all at the start until it gets to your knees? So just entirely squat it up?

            Agree with this, not a sumo but slightly wider legs and also sight flair in ur feet help me get myself lower and under the bar before the movement and my deads strength has blown up.

    Your flexibility and mobility is disgusting. Literally average modern human. Do knee over toes exercises first till you gain enough flexibility and mobility.
    Then you can do deadlifts and squats again

        No, he's right. OP Definitely has very tight hip flexors - as most of us in the modern world do.

        Personally I would avoid DL until mobility was better. I would recommend doing
        1. First BW then weighted back extensions
        2. Bulgarian split squats
        3. Possibly at first very light stiff leg DL focusing on bracing core and hip hinge

        Knees over toes guy is definitely worth looking into, and he recommends a couch stretch for hip flexor that is excellent

          Couldn't his problem actually be weak hip flexors and not right hip flexors? I think you meant to say most people's hip flexors are terribly weak, rather than tight.

    Are you wearing squat shoes? Take them off. Your shins are reaching the bar before they should because your heels raised, your hips should be lower

        moron, I didn't say his shins shouldnt be touching. I was saying that his starting position would be completely different when his shins touched the bar with flat shoes. The raised heels is giving him more forward knees making his shins touch at a bad starting position

          this implies they shouldnt be reaching the bar you absolute moron. What you should have said was to get his lats involved and squeeze his shoulder blades to straighten out his back. that hip height is fine and so is the distance from the bar at start.
          holy frick, do not listen to any of these dyels

                You're the dyel. The raised heel is causing his shins to prematurely reach the bar, are you moronic. With flat shoes his shins would touch the bar once his hips were dropped slightly lower and he would be starting with a straighter back. Did you even look at the picture. His upper body is leaned way too far forward.

                A small heel is good and allows more quad involvement off the floor. Check amount of knee extension with heel vs no heel. The cost is slightly longer ROM.

              Oly lifters also deadlift with raised heels. Those powerlifting shoes addidas sell also have raised heels but not as much as oly shoes. Its all about preference anon but it seems like you are too new to recognize that.

            How do you squeeze shoulder blade while reaching forward

  11. 10 months ago
    Anonymous

    You are rounding the lumbar, which isn't ideal. You may want to work on bracing more, as that along with breathing into your chest instead of your diaphragm is usually what causes that fold over in both the DL and the squat.

    Not everyone deadlifts the same way because it depends on your body mechanics. There's no one size fits all, so you have to find your comfortable position.
