Looks OK as far as I can see, however it does look like your knees are locking out faster than your hips.

You need to "fall backwards" as you pull up.

Exactly....knees locking out before the hips.

Guess I'll keep practicing until I get it right. I want to get the form down. Thanks!

Well, there's a little mantra we use to lock out deadlifts that goes something like:

"F**K THE BAR!!! F**K THE BAR!!! F**K THE BAR!!!"

This is really a hip thrusting movement. If you remember that, your timing should improve.

Me: "There's this really cool message board. I can videotape my exercises, go upstairs and post them on the net. In a few minutes people come back with comments. It's very addictive."

My Wife: "Cool."

A few minutes later I came downstairs.

My Wife: "So what did they tell you?"

Me: "F**K THE BAR!!! F**K THE BAR!!! F**K THE BAR!!!"

My Wife: ?????

Agree with Cool. Pull backwards. I see you are looking on the Charlie Francis website too Cool. Great insight on that board. It's great to be able to ask the world's best speed coach about training.

www.charliefrancis.com for another great site.

I like to thrust my hips forward as soon as it clears my knees. Fire your hips forward as if you were engaging in the procreational process.
