Greetings. Had a frustrating morning deadlifting and could use some eyes on my form. Currently doing the 2suns 531, which starts with a 5 rep, 3 rep, then a 1+, followed by alot of 3's Here is my 1+ at 290x3 https://youtu.be/Y4QD2pPZ5OI This was admittedly brash, after trying to sink into a deeper more careful pull and failing, getting lightheaded, then resting for a minute. I was frustrated. Here is the next set at 270x2: https://youtu.be/XIScUcb459o I was tired and a bit irked from the previous set, hence the careful yet unsure setup. Hips are rising, shoulders starting too far forward.... 260x3: https://youtu.be/-bmSCs7TNXs 245x3: https://youtu.be/9ZS41YoP-ag And finally 225x3: https://youtu.be/hYNTEJZ1XQ0 Best form of the bunch, I focused on pulling my shoulders back and down and really forcing my chest up. So yeah, I'm putting undue strain on my back, I cannot seem to get my arms over the bar and keep my hips from rising. Do I need to rotate my pelvis forward and push through the ball of my feet? I feel like when I try to bring my butt back to get my shoulders over the bar, I lose power and I'm trying to activate my glutes and push through my heels. I am inefficient. Fix the setup and focus on 5-reps of that 225 range, or what? I'm spinning my wheels here and appreciate impartial observers. Thanks!
