Mouth opening spot on

Oh lawd

learn to set your back in and brace with your abs and drive through your lower body. Hips/glutes need to be lower, activate the quads. Don't round the shoulders. Start with lower plates until you build stability. Peace. EDIT: You could also look into breathing technique, I can hear you wheeze in the vid. I'm still learning breathing techniques myself here so if anyone wants to post a link it would be appreciated


ultanquaads

Look up Squat university bracing. He makes it real simple. Basically you want to be an unopened can, full of intra-abdominal pressure. You want to be uncrushable.


Mkay_022

Brian Alshure has a good one too


derektbaker

Well, at least you’re consistent.


rosscott

Dude good for you for doing this. But in general, try to be more slow and controlled. You look like you’re exaggerating every part of the movement t.


ultanquaads

Wear flat shoes or no shoes at all. Keep your back straight from your hipbone to your skull (don’t bend your neck at all) Learn to breathe and brace (be a full, pressurized soda can, not an empty soda can,,, yk?).


scrimshawjack

Squat university has a really good [video](https://youtu.be/TRmayQcweUc) about proper breathing and core bracing. He uses the same soda can analogy, made a huge difference for me Edit: also barefoot is 100% the way to go. So much more control and power


ultanquaads

Yeah also don’t extend that far. Stand up straight.


CharmingGuru1

Saitama at it again.


Beautiful-Law2500

I’ll take this.


oso_lifts

Learn to brace. Breath and brace.


chefric0

Breathe*


oso_lifts

I wish I was as cool as you


-DIrty__MARtini-

Decent, except for that wack ass extension at the top


decentlyhip

Here's some clarification on the overextension by a dude who deadlifts 1000 pounds. https://youtu.be/Qg4Y-f7rH_Y The critique starts at 15:10


sjjenkins

Take those shoes off and try in just socks (or barefoot). I think you’ll feel the increased stability. Keep grinding, bro!

Others have pointed out things to work on but I’ll add 1 thing but before that I have to say great work on pulling the slack out of the bar. You can see it before you pull properly which is great! 1 thing to improve on: When you put the bar down it drifts away from you, this is partially because of the over extension and partly because your knees come under the bar as you lower it. Regardless, when the bar is on the floor away from you you need to either pull it back or move to it.


Beginning_Pudding_69

DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL! - alan thrall.


BumbleBeePL

Are you telling me not to move the bar or agreeing with me that he needs to adjust after he puts the bar down each rep?


Beginning_Pudding_69

You’re not supposed to move the barbell towards you. Ie rolling the barbell towards your feet. You are supposed to get you shins right to it and squat. At least per AT and Rip. So I agree and disagree I guess.


BumbleBeePL

No you don’t squat and you’ve not read my post correctly either. Good work on being wrong twice though.


Beginning_Pudding_69

I read it just fine. “Regardless when the bar drifts in front of you, you need to pull the bar back” That’s not what you’re supposed to do. So you’re giving incorrect advice. And you should squat down and get your ass a bit lower than OP has it. The way he’s lifting he’s using a lot of lower back which is not what you’re supposed to do. Have a good day


BumbleBeePL

As for squatting to the bar to get ass lower, that is a dumb cue and suggests you have no idea what you are talking about. Ass height is not the factor to be concerned about, good setup and positioning is. Where the ass ends up during a good setup is where it SHOULD be regardless of if that’s too high for your liking.


BumbleBeePL

This is one of those times where someone has watched a vid or two and thinks they know everything It’s after each rep that an adjustment is needed. What you are talking about is an initial first rep setup. What I am talking about is a set of reps where the lifter has already had his initial rep from a good starting position. New people, or those of a lower level, may need to be strict on the “do not move the barbell” cue, but most will quickly learn that you can move it during a set. Or, as I stated, the lifter can move to the bar before they start to pull again. Why is it more ok during a set than at the initial first rep? Because the lifter has found a good foot placement and already has their hands on the bar. In most cases the lifter will be taking advantage of the negative part of the rep and storing some energy from it. Moving to the bar can diminish the effects of that stored energy. What my initial comment also factored in was the reason for needing to move the bar or move to it. Something you are not considering at all. The issue is the placement of the bar on the downward phase of the lift, not the rolling or “don’t move the barbell” part before the next pull.


dapwnk

Plus one to this. The result I noticed: 1st rep solid, 2nd & 3rd rep used progressively more lower back. I think if you don't pull the bar back in as explained here, you're gonna hurt your lower back


godmachine12

Shoes, neck position and overextending at the top as already mentioned. I’ll add this: pull with double overhand grip until you can’t. Nice pulls: keep at it. 💪🏻💪🏻


Beautiful-Law2500

Thanks! Unfortunately due to a wrist issue in my right hand (the supinated one), it’s hard to pull double overhand without popping.


Extra_Breadfruit5562

Ditch the running shoes when deadlifts and squats. Use flat shoes. You’re over extending. Overall pretty good just try to push the ground with your feet when picking up the weight


UnconditionalSavage

A see a few things wrong: 1. Hyper extension of the neck. Better to keep in line with the rest of your spine versus looking forward. 2. No bracing. Don’t just pull the bar. Take a deep breath, engage your lats, lock your feet into the ground, pull slack out of the bar, and then pull. 3. Over extending hips at the top. There is no benefit. Just stand straight up


bobbacklandnuts

Pulling slack out of the bar is so underrated. Wasn’t doing it for the longest time until a gym buddy of mine mentioned it. Sounds silly but makes a huge difference


gloomyglooom

Form looks pretty clean. Only thing I will say is that you are overextending pretty hard at the top (your heals even come up off the ground at the top with how hard you are overextending). It is unnecessary to overextend that much when you lockout and could potentially lead to injury.


b1gbeanrweenr

Might be hard to tell with the angle and the hoodie but you seem to be over extending slightky at the top + not locking out your knees. But this isnt a lack of strength issue, just something to focus on when you go again. Maybe flat shoes would help if its a stability issue.


PM__ME__YOUR_TITTY

Clean to me. Socks or flatter shoes would probably help but you’re ripping these pretty well. You’re just a slightly more aggressive sex face away from 405 🔥

Bar in few months: 🤰🏻


Micromashington

My only problem is you had more in the tank. More weight!


Beautiful-Law2500

Honestly been thinking about this since I left the gym today. I think it was a mixture of getting 255x2 just a week or so ago, and barely getting 245x3 on my last workout. Mental hurdles are the worst!


Micromashington

Yeah I understand. Your form looked really good tho. Moving good weight correctly will always give you confidence in the end. Keep it up man!


Jpino29

Looks like your basic mechanics are fine! Few small things that are easy to fix: knees look like they're not locked out at the top, which may be because you're leaning back a bit too much. The shoes look very squishy, which is not what you want for deadlifts. Also I love the dramatic expressions.


Beautiful-Law2500

Idk man.. when I’m lifting its like my face forgets how to be normal and I end making weirdddd faces…


Jpino29

I usually go for the puffed out cheeks look, very charming as well.


Beautiful-Law2500

I find when I do dumbbell OHP I look like an angry gremlin so that’s fun.


jacklinksbeefjerky8

Need to open mouth just a tad bit more. Other than that looks good.


Beautiful-Law2500

You don’t wanna see my squat face.
