Help from VETS with deadlift form

[Robboe]

just cause you're not sore doesn;t mean jack schitt. [ps i have the story of jack schitt]

if you're adding weight or reps then you're good to go.

I agree with the soreness part, I went mid 400's this past week for 3 sets of 5 on the deadlift and the next day didn't feel a thing, but my back is growing so who cares

Your hams are weak in my opinion. When you are deadlifting...you are finding that your hams are giving out very soon and being the limiting factor.

Remember, on slds...the first thing to move is your hips, not your waist. You NEVER bend over on them...you just push your butt back. Take the bar down to mid-shin only...keep your back arched...and that is as far as you need to go.

email if you need more help...

yes thats exactly what i am doing wrong for stiff legs,and hams havent ever been a strong point of mine,im trying to catch them up with my quads before i have knee probs

Reverse hypers, glute/ham raises, goodmornings, slds, etc...they will bring up your hams more than anything.

Oak, either one of us would be happy to show you how it's done, the key is make sure that if at all possible that someone who knows what to watch for is spotting you on it until the motion becomes natural. The point is to keep your hips down and back straight, but as soon as you start to add weight your body is going to want to do it differently, ie, hips rise up first. It does take a while to get it right but the gains are worth it.
