Help from VETS with deadlift form

[theoak01]

i have been in this game for three years so i dont want some know it all on here pulling there shit,anyways i have found that regular deads dont work my back anything close to what stiff leg deads do,i find regular deads work my hams and stiffs my lower back,is there any reason to this? form on regular deads maybe,ive had a guy i know off this board show me what the form is he uses and i do it that way also,anything i can do to make my back feel the regular deads

thanx

no offense but that post isn;t written too clearly.

what exactly are you asking?

what part of your back do you want the deads to work?

when do you do stiffs and when do you do regular deads?

 

[theoak01]

sorry about that,i dont do regular deads anymore because i find they dont work my back like stiff legs do,so i now do stiff legs which leave me pretty sore,what i wanna know is what could i be doing wrong that regular deads dont burn my back out like stiff legs,and the form is good when i do both

There have been a ton of posts on deadlifts on here lately. Do a search.

 

[Robboe]

so do you do stiffs on leg day or back day?


[or do you do hams with back?]

deads never 'burned' my back out after a while either. after 3-4 weeks the next day i was fine after deads. same goes for all really.

 

[theoak01]

i do stiffs on back day becuase thats what the work for me,they dont do a thing for hams on me,same as regulars dont so anything for my back

and gymtime this isnt something i will find in any other post

could i be doing something wrong that regular deads dont feel like enough for my back?

 

[Robboe]

so you don;t feel stiffs in your hams and you don;t feel deads in your back?

are you sure you ain;t doing dips or something haha...


you must be a freak mate.

ok seriously, what do you want out of deads? what are you expecting to feel?

First, the SLDL's... How far down are you going? Are you doing keystones? Keeping your back straight, or arching it? (or curving it). Are you sticking your butt out when you do them?

Now the conventional deads: once again, what's your ROM? Are you doing sumo or regular style? How's your form? (ever had someone watch them). It's VERY hard for someone to evaluate your lifts without actually seeing them...

 

[theoak01]

out of regular deads i want my lower back cooked and i want to feel it overall in my back,i can only achieve that by stiff leg deads
i have watched a bro from this baord show me how to do them and thats how i do it back straight bend knees and down then squeeze at the top,dont feel a damn thing,and i use regular style not sumo

Oak, not trying to be a dick but dissto said that the form he watched you doing was not regular or stiff legged, something in between. He and I deadlift together and I know that the form he would have showed you is bang on, you really might want to get someone to watch you when you are doing them, a lot of times with an exercise like deads you think you are hitting the correct form when in fact you are not. Done in correct form, you should be sore from lower back to your traps.
