@Blane23fly The lumbar spine is arched. The upper back can round a good bit and be okay. Rippetoe writes about this in SS. If you look at how Konstantin Konstantinovs deadlifts, he pulls with a rounded upper back as well.
But you're right, we've been working on sitting back on the heels more and not losing power via thoracic spinal flexion off the floor.
check your back, it isn't straight you'll fuck your spinal if don't do that properly.
Get to power from your heels
