My Deadlift Bar Path...

Anthrax said:
I try to keep a straight or slightly arched back

Isn't it wiser to prevent lower back injury ?

You know man...I'm not really sure. I do know that there is always a BEST way and then there is a way that you do it BEST. That is how I do it best. I do not feel comfortable with a tightly arched back.

I pulled a raw and easy 691 today that I have on video and I'll upload it as soon as I can.

My back feels best when it is completely flat, which also makes the arms longer and the bar doesn't DRAG on the body.

Not the best way for everyone...but the best way that I've found so far for me.

Remember that...it is NEVER the best way for EVERYONE. Always try to learn something from everything because it might come in handy someday.

Awesome idea for a thread. I've always had trouble scraping my shins on deads...when I did, it felt as if I was struggling harder to get the weight up than ever before.

And 691!!!! You looked as if you had even more in the tank! Impressive...

Oh, and at first, I thought the little girl on the steps was a doll. I was thinking...who set up the doll to watch you deadlift? LOL. But then she moved ;) (Cute little girl.)

Just try something different on your deadlifts and see if you can make it work for you. When I tore my left hamstring in December and February I wanted to pull BADLY but couldn't pull heavy. I would try to change my form to keep the bar closer to me and it felt ok with lighter weights but NOT when I got over 400. It seemed like the bar was carrying me instead of the other way around. I was all over the place and it wasn't in one motion.

Try to make little changes and see if you can make it work. To make changes work, though, takes lots of time.

That was Mattie, the daughter of one of the girls who has been training here on Sundays.

I really think that I'll get 700 x 2 this Fall and 730 x 1 as well.
