Sambalina Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hey guys,I've just begun strength training with barbells and am trying to get my form down. By far the most 'unnatural' feeling move for me, is the deadlift. I started out doing sumo, but am now trying conventional, which feels better but still a bit odd. Any tips you have are hugely appreciated! Also, I'm sorry it's so silhouette-ey.

bigm141414 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Honestly, looks pretty good to me. I'd love to see a video of you DLing with some working weight. That way we can look at any form break down points. Good job so far. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
Panczo Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 IMHO it looks very good. Just like bigm said: the weight doesn't seems to be very demanding for you.I know you just starting out and it's great that you first want to establish your form before moving forward, but once you hit the weights that are tough, you should throw in another video to make sure you didn't lost it Quote Elf Druid - Level 8 looking around for happiness || tracking || #intro || #old "Most people think they’ll feel good once they reach some goal.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yep, I'm commenting to subscribe as well. The bar is definitely coming away from your legs when you get above the knees, but that is probably due to the empty bar like the others said.
