Why can i just not figure out how to extend my back properly. Even relaxed like this my low back is in a bit of flexion. Why the frick can I not figure this out? This is after doing 5 reps of my PR deadlift (255lbs) and just look like garbage

Looks even worse during the lift. I do my max everytime but still, looks like shit. On my way to snap probably
are you looking at ass ?
you shouldn't look up, look at the fricking curve in your neck
It's not that serious, man. Your spine has a natural curve that you can't see, there's no such thing as a straight spine even if your back appears straight. Are you experiencing low back pain/discomfort while deadlifting? If you really care try doing a light seated good morning and see how much you can focus on your lower back.
No, no pain. My back is super fatigued after a deadlift session though, like "i need to slap" sort of fatigue.
Thanks for your input
First rep here too also looks not great. Everyone always has the flattest back and mine looks like this. Atleast it's not crazy flexed, but enough to probably be a problem eventually because I wanna hit 400lbs
My brother in Christ, you are in grave danger. You need to get that form perfect before you move past 135. You have a lot of form issues but start with your hips.. This will sound gay but you need to stick your ass out like a female thats getting ready for "it" through out the entire lift. Practice that que with light weight. Then work on pushing your chest out and up with shoulders back and down through out the lift. Doing that should get you more vertical. If your still rounding your back its because its weak, so keep training with light weight to build strength.
How tight are your hamstrings? Can you comfortably bend over and touch the floor? I feel like there is some kind of mobility issue that's preventing you from setting your back into extension
Not terribly tight. I can get this far down. Not full hands to the ground, but I feel this isn't bad for never actually trying before.
Are you retracting and depressing your shoulders during the deadlift?
Uhhh, I think trying to retract them, but when Im gripping the bar, that pretty much goes out the window for some reason
I think it's your stance, possibly ankle mobility and shoulders causing this effect. It looks like you have the butt wink even at resting position. Can you take a picture of your regular posture? Amateur PT here btw.
stop maxing out and work on your hamstrings and glutes
they're weak and that's the reason why your lower back rounds
FUARK who is THAT?
