wash your teeth correctly regularly

also, dont have stomach problems

How can I prevent my lower back from bending during heavy deadlifts?
I've been doing them for a couple months now (after 2 years of letting but no dears) and am up to a 3plate max, but once I get past 2plate, my form starts to suffer. Had a friend film me when I maxed out the other day and I had an absurd back-bend going on, the kind that gets posted in snap city threads.
I've been doing hip and back stretches since mobility was my initial problem but it feels impossible to keep my back straight when I lift, no matter how many different ways I try.
There hasn't been any pain or snapping but I'm worried that something will happen if I keep going up in weight.

Will a belt help with form (I haven't been using one) or is that just a crutch?

I brush twice a day and floss before bed, but I'm gonna start brushing + flossing after every meal

what constitutes stomach problems m8

anyone?

>Abs
I'm pretty sure it's my weakest muscle group relative to everything else. I never work on them, because I bought the meme that squats/deadlifts develop them sufficiently. Now I just look weird naked because I have huge thighs, a nice chest and nice arms, but a pretty flabby tummers.

Can you pals give me some great exercises that crush abs that I can do about three times per week?

Thanks brahs.

Would like to add: I'm not sure what the root of my problem is; when my friend is maxing out he'll start shaking and turn bright red but his back never falters at all.
Meanwhile when I lift I feel like I'm focusing all my energy into not letting my back fold in half, energy that could be spent lifting harder.
Does leverage (based on femur vs tibia length) play a big role in how the stress is distributed, because I've noticed that a friend of mine with long-ass femurs (like me) has the same problem while my other lifting friends with short legs don't.

Not that I'm looking for an excuse, but I'm interesested in knowing more about how the system is working during the lift.

Try doing the thing where you lie on the edge of a bench (with your ass just hanging off) and slowly raise and lower your straight legs while holding onto the bench behind your head. Once you git gud, dragon flags. I superset these with crunches to burn out my abs at the end of workouts if I have a few extra minutes.

Some people swear by ab wheels but they always just hurt my back, I don't know.

like with calorie counting and fatties, consider the possibility that youre not brushing your teeth correctly.
