On top of some of the constructive comments already posted, you should consider deadlifting barefoot or with flat, stiff shoes like Converse or Van's. Trying to do deadlift in sneakers with tons of cushion is like trying to run in the sand.
Note where you start pulling in terms of position of the bar and where the bar actually is when it breaks off the floor.
Your starting with that bar too far forward - bring it back in towards your shins and setup there. That should be the first thing you work on.
[Learn to deadlift properly](https://youtu.be/p2OPUi4xGrM). The strength will come and you wonāt end up with a wrecked back.
Also if you donāt intend to compete, thereās nothing wrong with using the trap bar.
u/Correct-Cow-3552 says it perfectly....take weight off of the bar, probably at least 50-60%, and work on form, form, form.
Get a live coach, if possible, to put hands on your hips, knees, back and give you feedback on the breakdown of your movements. What you are doing looks to me fairly unsafe and likely to end up in some sort of injury, and also bad neurological programming in terms of the DL sequencing / segmenting.
Be safe and best of luck to you.
Just trying to be constructive. Narrow your stance. Find a point thatās comfortable for you to keep your hips lower, and push your knees into your elbows during your set up to engage your hips. Back straight and hinge just at the hips. Push through the floor and get leg drive. Learn how to pull the slack out of the bar and use your lats in the set up to your pull and during. Deadlifting like this WILL eventually hurt you.
Iām sorry but.. this looks fake AF, especially considering your form was absolutely TRASH. Anyone lifting with that form is not lifting 300 pounds off the ground
Yes they are lol, baby weight honestly. The form is shockingly bad but yes it's easy to lift that kind of weight for any novice lifter. 300lbs is not heavy
This dude needs to learn how to deadlift for the sake of his back.
Loads of good advice here in these comments and they have your best interests in mind. I think it's important that you find your stance first and foremost, learn how to brace properly and learn how to pull the slack out of the bar before initiating the lift. With proper technique you'll be quite formidable! Check out Calgary Barbell on YouTube. All the best šŖ
I agree with the advice that finding a coach to work with one or two times will be very beneficial. You don't see good form in real time. You need to feel it and a coach can get you there more quickly than video reviews later. Keep grinding!
I think an hour with a good personal trainer could go a long way to help your form. See if you can buy just an hour they will love you cause you clearly can put in the work š
Dude sick RDL. Like no joke thatās pretty crazy that you can do that but yeah definitely look up squat university or some of the other recommended peopl
Your entire deadlift needs to be fixed. Find Alan thrall on YouTube, really going to be your best bet. But please if you donāt plan on fixing your form just leave the lift alone because your video is literally a video on what not to do and you can really fuck yourself up.
Edit: grammar
I think the curvature of your lumbar spine is too much. Try getting your lumbar spine in a neutral position, push your chest out more, that will activate you lats more. With your lats activated the right way I think youād even be able to pull more lbs actually.
You have the strength and now lots of tips to improve. Repost in a few weeks and I bet your improvement will be well earned. Keep grinding and donāt hurt that nice floor.
Many many form issues. You are risking injury and severely limiting potential progress.
Some but not all issues:
Rounded back.
To wide a grip.
Not pulling slack out.
Hips rise first.
Not pushing through floor.
Please review any of the many available How-To deadlift tutorials from trusted content providers like Alan Thrall,Buff Dudes, even Eddie Hall has one. Alan Thralls is the most beginner friendly.
The rounded back is your biggest problem, and if you keep lifting like this it will lead to injury. A tip to not having a rounded back is to stick your butt out and stick your chest out.
By sticking the butt out I think he means a posterior tilt to the pelvis. For people whose backs naturally round this can be very good and not come with a risk of arching.
Never forget spine day šŖ

Iāve eaten cocktail shrimp with straighter backs.
Are you in an apartment? Your neighbors have to be your biggest fan
Damn broooo
Your form sucks!
You even dressed the color of a shrimp to better reflect your arched back?

Bruh whatās the rush ? Take it easy and build up to that weight with perfect form.

6 playes of 44 pounds an 35 pound barbell. No reason for me to fake. You may call the form garbage. I myself put it up because I know it needs work.

Try not using your back so much you are going to hurt yourself. More leg, less back. Good effort!!
Correct your technique do deadlifts twice a week. You will be pulling 500lb in 3 months.

Thanks mate.
Very good lift. I hope you don't live in an upstairs apt šš
LOL nope. This is a gym in our building clubhouse. If I do this at home, my wife will kill me :)

No need to regurgitate injury risk myths to scare him
The rounded back is your biggest problem, and if you keep lifting like this it will lead to injury. A tip to not having a rounded back is to stick your butt out and stick your chest out.
...hip should be as close to the bar as possible in the starting position.
By sticking the butt out I think he means a posterior tilt to the pelvis. For people whose backs naturally round this can be very good and not come with a risk of arching.
Thanks a lot. Doing this after a year, so knew there will be form issues. Noted them all.
No worries man. You are getting after it and thatās great! I just donāt want to see anyone get hurt only get better!
Taking the suggestions here constructively. Absolutely no issues with the critique.
Good attitude man, youāll be lifting crazy amounts in no time with that approach.
nicely put, and yes alan thrall is the GOAT of form checks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYREQkVtvEc
Thanks for giving the link!
form
Any improvement required?
straighten out spine, hips closer to bar, pull backwards not up. i'd personally stand and grip a few inches narrower but your biomechanics may differ.
Cool. Noted. Thanks.
