please critique my form on DL

[forcd]

im fresh back from my foot vs a 1/2 inch thick peice of plate which didnt end well for my foot but i do have an access hole the size of an i phone for any future works, lol.....

my pb was 420 and climbing as i was mid cycle when accident happened, restarted cycle and pleasingly i've regained the 10kg lost while in hospital in just 3 weeks.

i hit this lift this morn 400 x 2 reps, the 2nd was a bounced rep which was more mis calculated, as i try to hit form rather than weight.

its only over the past say 4 months that i've gone back to basics, no isolation movements all efforts put into the big compounds.

any thoughts on my form much appreciated....

not horrible...

first, get some better shoes to lift in, like chucks, some oly shoes or even lifting in your socks/barefoot or in boots would be better than tennis shoes... better balance, more stability and better transfer of power...

second, ditch the straps... not even for your top set... save these ONLY for heavy power shrugs or rack pulls over your regular DL max...

on to the lift... your hips look too high at the start, its not the best camera angle for this, because it makes it look worse than it is by looking up... i would also like to see your back arched, not rounded like it appears... also i notice the bar position over your feet; i like my bar touching my shins because i feel i get better leverage this way, so that may be something you want to play around with and see if it helps...

in no way would i say this is a BAD lift... just being critical... also not a fan of the 'bounce' reps either though it sounds like thats not your normal thing...

^^^agree with this.

I never use straps because I feel, that if you can't hold it, don't lift it. Those hips should be lower and I also put the bar close to my shins, within an inch.

That bounce also looks no bueno.

I was expecting worse, however.

for what your going for would agree with them never use straps. I pull sometimes higher and round top back only but thats for maximum weight have a good back see a lot of powerlifters do it but for bodybuilding general exercise stick to strict form looked good to me though. I bounce my shit some all the time not necassarily a problem but again in your case stricter probably better

yeah the bounce im not happy about its the first time ive video'd anything ive lifted. knowing i was gunna show a mate that trains elsewhere it was decided when lowering i was gunna hit it again.... plus i have a buldged disc so i try and be careful as possible....

i do feel while lifting my body could do more but i have legs like an avatar cross with an anorexic model...... if i drop my hips more would that mean more leg strength would be needed??? if so i might have to stop increasing weights on DL's till legs come up to rest of body.

cheers for the advice on the boots or different shoes i have just been throwin on whatever is closer to door on the day.

what can i do to helping gripping strength i've been training many years, mostly uneducated and ego driven till the last couple but my grip is shyt to say the least...... i use straps thinking it would help with the heavy lifts as over time i feel like i get tennis elbow or upon release of the bar i get pain in my forearms and elbow.

i will say that as ive never seen my form before i thought my back was good, but thats why im posting here so all your help is much appreciated.

and those plates are 50kg each its hard to read cos of film quality but you guys believe me.

Some flatter shoes will allow you to sit further back on your heels. This will help a little with keeping your hips down. Get that bar as close as possible to your shins too. These changes might bring your weight down but once you relearn the move, you will get stronger, faster and safer. Toasting out the straps and using a mixed grip, will help you to develop hand strength.

Form isn't bad, but just a few pointers...

Ditch the straps of course.

Think of the movement as a leg press until the bar passes your knees, then focus on pulling back. You seem to be focusing on pulling when you should still be pushing.

If you are wearing shorts, there should be blood on your shins. The closer the bar is to your shins, the more control you have over the weight.
