Any Tips For Good Deadlifting?

[JoBu]

Jobu, looks can be deceiving. Take my word for it, my back is arched and erectors flexed so tight that they sometimes charlie-horse. Head is forward, not up. Maybe that's what LS meant. I took up to mean looking up.

Why? Safety, leverage, maximum recruitment, basic physics, biomechanics....

Conventional will hit your back harder, sumo will hit your hips harder. I pull sumo to spare my back strength for squatting, and because it's a shorter ROM.

I think I understand what's going on here. When you say arched you mean arched back...not arched over forward...yes? That's why you looked straight to me. And I think we're all coming from the same place with the head up/forward...meaning looking straight ahead...not up or down.

So I should DL conventional to hammer my back...excellent...thanks!
