zack chained deads 495x2 (form work)

[ehlersb]

You should try to work on your hip extension, you have a strong back and legs. It looks like its not up to par with those two. try kettlebell swings, dimel deadlifts, and pull-throughs. Your start angle might be off. You might have to initiate the pull with your hamstrings more instead of lower back. Thats why you hitch, change position and it should help. Read up on Westside Barbell about deadlift help.

You look strong as hell, but it's hard to give form advice from this angle. Can you make a new vid from the side?

[strongmanzack]

I'll be posting a new angle next time I get to doing deadlifts. Dont know when that wil be.

[TheAscendant]

What are you trying to change in your form?

[strongmanzack]

Flat out, I am trying to learn to keep my legs bent through the whole motion. I used to use my legs WAY too much to initiate the lift and by the time the bar was to my knees my legs were locked out and I'd have to hitch or finish the lift like it was a roman deadlift.

BUT

there are two underlying reason i want the change.

1. I want a form that is compatible with doing it very often and it not being hazardous for my health.

2. I want a lift that will be benefited a LOT by a suit

[strongmanzack]

I try to start the lift with my lower back while sitting back then once i am past my knees extend my legs and finish the motion.

Man you have a lot of power. how much is it wi the chains?

[strongmanzack]

40lbs in chains. I am looking to become a whole lot more powerful. a hitched out 660 is NOT cutting it.

[ptarleton]

Get tall.

[tunnel2vision]

When it gets past your knees really focus on shooting your hips forward.. Squze them checks.

[strongmanzack]

I try but it looks like i hitch.

[tunnel2vision]

post a video from on your side. Not in the front

[strongmanzack]

I will the next time i do some deadlifting
