Deadlift cues

set feet up
mpve legs towards the bar till quads are loaded
keep my back as upright as i can and flex lats
pull

Red and orange then slam through with the green my boi

this desu

Two things:
>How do you tighten your lats?
Seriously, how do you do that?

>Why contract the traps?
the traps work isometrically in the deadlift, keeping the arms from falling out of the shoulder joint or generally from moving away. Actively contracting them during the lift is impossible for me (cant make them do it, not about strength), shrugging works tho.

>pouring milk on your tightened latte
>not using chilled gluten for maximum protons
Not gonna make it

the one where you push into the ground to prevent your soles from being tickled

the one where you tighten your armpits to prevent them from being tickled

the one where you push your hips and clench your glutes till they're numb so no one can tickle them

or put a finger up your bum

How do i transfer my good form to a heavier weight ?
I'm a newbie and currently deadlifting 200lbs with a good form,however,if i try to add like 10-20lbs my form deteriorates,my lower back starts rounding,i only use my back in the whole lift and my lower back feels slightly strained right after i'm done.The thing is i know i've got the strength to deadlift more,i just can't lift the fucking thing properly

>bar over mid foot
>show me the logo on your tshirt
>push your knees outwards & into your arms
>push through your ankle

I am 5lbs from 4pl8..

Hold me Veeky Forums

Does nobody listen to uncle Rip?
>Bar over midfoot, feet kinda close
>Bend over and grab bar just outside your shins with stiff legs,
>Bend the knees until shins touch the bar
>Big breath, squeeze your chest up to straighten back, make sure you don't bend your knees or move the bar
>Pull the bar up while actively keeping it in contact with your legs
There's literally no way to fuck this up

newfag here

1pl8 = 1 plate = 20kg?
so 4pl8 deadlift is 4 plates on each side = 160kg + bar ?

thanks

I lean back as if to sit down and use my arms on the barbell to stabilize myself. This takes care of most of the cues there.

yes

Its what you pay attention to when trying to lift with good form.
In my case I look at myself in the mirror to watch my back & make sure I keep it neutral and do avoid "cat back".

>bar over midfoot
>grab the bar
>shins forward, big breath, chest up
>pull

i'm on my 2nd week of lifting weights. doing SS. I keep hitting my kneecaps when deadlifting. Hurts like fuck. What am i doing wrong?

bring your knees back as you come up
ie straighten out your legs

Seems obvious now yeah. Thanks.

do a shrug

now do the same axis movement except downwards not upwards

oh. i wiggle my butt a little and pull it up right before the lift? if that makes sense. which is none of the arrows on the pic so maybe i'm doing them wrong and i'm going to injure myself lol :P

Shiit I watched his vids and he makes it look so easy. Dying to try it tomorrow. Thx bro

yes, you are and you will

Why do you trip when you have no idea what you're doing?

Am I the only one who uses a rolling start?
I find it really realllly helps my lats and posterior chain stay tight.
2.5pl8

Do you use hook grip? I've heard it feels more natural for people who hook. But yeah I just did 455 Ib and I roll it.

not him but i hook grip
i dont roll it but i have to say hook grip superior grip
never had grip problems after i started hooking

the only problem is my thumbs still wanna die

>never had grip problems after i started hooking
Yeah I'll bet

just pushing the ground away,while thrusting forward with my dick

srs question. i thought you're supposed to keep your head down throughout the lift for better posture?

Mine are like so:

>Bisect your feet with the bar
>shoulders dead over the centre
>knees over toes
>engage lats (pull yourself down into the bar with your back)
>neutral spine
>push hips up to tighten hams
>big air and tighten core
>Drive up with your hips and shoulders
>Lock knees out first (very important)
>Drive hips forward

>tired as shit
>put way too much weight on
>oh shit I bent my back a bit, oh well I'm too tired to give a fuck

It's much harder to maintain your back straight if you do that

A lot of people miscue head placement in a lot of lifts since they don't think its that important. Basically what I cue myself to do and it's pretty good for head posture to think is to have eyes look where your nips look and pull head back as you had a chain anchored to your occipital bump pulling on you.

Definitely Red, and i think Yellow, if i were to think about it. Keeping my back tight so i dont round.

My shoulders shouldnt be dropping when i deadlift though, right?

From that picture, those two dark red arrows near the spine mean you should hyperextend your back. Just checking that this is this correct form?

i believe so, yeah. the feeling of trying to pull your shoulders and your ass together to keep your back straight/chest out

ok thanks. I've been using a neutral setup, but I can see how this could be a problem at heavier weights

>reading this comment with stage 2 gyno causing my nipples to point downwards

That sounds like you've got a weak core, who cant handle the weight, but idk im not experienced
