Dead Lift Form Check

[Bergie]

Charles,

I recently received a camcorder as a gift so I have started videoing my lifts.

I have a question on the Dead lift. Looking at the vid, it looks like my back is flat instead of curved. But it does seem to stay flat through the entire lift. Do I need more curve or is this a good position?

The firs vid is from my 260# warm up set.

This one is my 310# work set. I had an issue on this set though. Some idiot loaded the bar with 10# more pounds on the left side than the right. I had to bail on the 4th lift.

Thanks for your time.

Not bad- you're maintaining a safe lumbar position- how long have you been lifting?
