Title: Training pics
Post by: John O on January 02, 2010, 05:51:10 PM

Just wanted to check my form on deadlift so shot some stills. Wanted to shoot a few at diffrent points of the lift so had to shoot some over because of missed timed lol ( by myself so had to use the camera's self timer)Did end up getting a good workout anyway from having to repeat the lift so many times to get the right pics :lol: ended up something like 7 sets of singles  ;D ;D ;D

You seem to get a pretty solid position to pull from.

A typical "back" sumo deadlifter from the looks of it.

Only thing that I am ask is whether you have your balance on the back part of your feet at the start of the lift?

It looks like you're a bit on the front of your feet at the start of the lift. At the end of the lift it looks fine though.

But perhaps you can get better power off the ground if you have a little more balance towards the back part of your feet.

Just a suggestion.


Btw, very nice gym.

Hedge is right, you do look a little far forward.  See how far over the bar your chest is.  THis in turn has your ass a littl high at the start of the pull.  Without seeing it live or on video we can't be sure how you drive into the pull groove but I would agree, try driving through your heels more and see how that feels.   

I won't razz you about the carpet, but are you on a ground floor?  Basement below you?

you can't really tell ANYTHING from a still shot, shoot video from the side.

Your hips look too high at the start. really try to push your chest through your arms at the bottom. This will ehlp keep your butt down.

Not necessarily.

If he's a "back" sumo deadlifter, then a fairly high hip position is preferable.
