DL Form - Need help

[lodid]

I have read until I am blue in the face.

Does anyone have a good quality video of a proper form deadlift. SL would be great, but any will do.

I am thinking I am bending lower back too much and need to see what others are doing.

The PT's at my gym are MORONS and when questioned always lead me to a machine... sigh (Bally's).


Thanks,


Lodid

The only deadlift is when you pick the weight up off the floor.

What you are asking for is a straight leg dead lift or a Romanian dead lift, which are varations of the deadlift.

Arch your back (flexing your erectors, not extreme) and stay that way. Keep the bar close to your body as you descend. For a good video, check out the Videos Sticky at the top of the board.

Yes keep the bar tight, like Spatts said. That helps with keeping the arch in your back. You should actually be losing some of the hairs on your shins if you're doing it right.
