I guess some level of day-to-day routines and make it easier and simpler to be accountable/ not be bored. | ||

You should be doing pretty much the same every week at the gym. Most apps are fancy internet logs; find one for "starting strength". Progress comes most from doing the basics over and over again. | ||

I just uploaded a couple video clips from this morning to my youtube account of the same user name (https://www.youtube.com/user/Merckinator). I suppose I would say that I have been lifting consistently since start of 2014. Really trying to make as much headway as possible on deadlift before my second strongman competition in September. If you haven't tried strongman, it's tons of fun btw! Thank you in advance for any help/guidance! Number your videos next time to make it easier to discuss. An overall comment - I was advised that when doing deadlifts, don't look straight ahead. Keep the neck neutral and in line with the spine, which means looking somewhere towards the floor in front of you. It helps from straining the neck muscles unnecessarily. I've tried it on my recent deadlifts and I think it helps a little bit. The first video without belt seemed fine. Second video seems to round the back a little bit - the butt is higher than I think it should be. Third video definitely shows the butt rising faster than your upper back. I believe they should rise at the same time to alleviate strain on the lower back, and you straight out the lower back after the legs have completed their motion. Same thing on the fourth vid. Can someone else help judge the form on the 3rd and 4th vids? | ||

I hadn't really thought about the head angle, but your suggestion makes sense and I'll try to do that. I think this is the first time I have recorded myself lifting and I had not realized just how much my ass shoots up before my chest until watching myself. Definitely seems to be something to work on correcting and I should probably record sessions more often. Thanks again for your comments! | ||

the grade was in my Unit Marks website page up until last week i decided not to bother to resubmit work for that unit to try to bring the mark up to 40/100 because i didn't resubmit anything they say that my first work grade (the 34/100) doesnt exist and instead i get Non Submission i just wrote a long email to head of dpt trying to explain that i made the mistake of thinking that i didnt need to resubmit the same piece of work because it had already been graded and the grade inserted into my provisional marks up until last week .... wish me luck idk if this fucks me or not but its quite the shock to see i got a Non Submission and the office person was like U SHUD HAVE READ THE SMALLPRINT LAL FO u literally have to be either in jail or dead to get a non submission | ||

Nothing wrong with ass shooting up first; it just shows you are starting with your hips too low for a deadlift. What you really need to work on is on getting ur abs tight before and during the lift, which will cure your lower back rounding. and more important, give you more strength Upper back rounding is acceptable on the deadlift, if you want to avoid it, learn to use your lats like in a clean to straigthen ur back. That said, on max deadlift effort attempts the back is never fully straight. | ||

It looks like you're leaning a bit too far in front of the bar to me, which then translates to you having to exaggerate the pull backwards. You're also locking out your back faster than your hips. Overall it's not bad, but I think it could contribute to some injuries in the long run if not dealt with. Edit: Agree with GoTunk about the abs. But your form really isn't bad for a max attempt deadlift. Everyone's going to have imbalances, just learn to work around them and do some prehab stuff so you don't end up fucked up like me haha. | ||

I have historically slacked on working my abs and recruiting them in lifts, but hearing both of you reiterate their importance definitely means I need to kick those up a notch. I'll also work on starting with my hips higher and leaning back with the weight more. I haven't really tried any sumo deadlifts and haven't done as much assistance work; Mainly been just working on the big main lifts. Also appreciate both of you saying that my form isn't that bad for a heavy lift. Thanks again! | ||

Very solid advice here - glad to have several others weigh in with advice. I always assume that butt shooting up before chest was bad in general, but never understood that it meant the butt was too low. | ||

but yeah, gotunk knows his shit, just gonna reiterate that the bar needs to be under the scapula and typically over the center of the foot for a solid pull. | ||

I always assume that butt shooting up before chest was bad in general, but never understood that it meant the butt was too low. It's just a common sense kind of fix honestly. A lot of powerlifters tell you to play up your strengths and try to use them to cover up your weaknesses. Don't neglect weak spots, but if you're built to be back dominant in the deadlift or if your squat is strongest when you lean forward a bit, it's not bad to use that to your advantage. An update on my lower back: I've been doing that workout every day for four days and I've woken up pain-free the last two days. I'm going to go back to relatively light deadlifts today, hopefully work up to 275 or so, and I guess after that I'll see if my lower back pain gets significantly worse. I don't think it will though, since squatting contributed to the majority of my problems. Edit: Just pulled 275 for a set of 5 and it went up really fast and pain-free. My lower back doesn't really hurt and just feels like it normally would after deadlifting. I can walk around and bend over fine though with no real pain. Super happy about that. | ||
