@golfprogress I thought the same as you at one point and diligently stretched my hamstrings, it didn't help much, the problem was in my super-weak inactive hips: poor mobility, little muscle mass. Jumping hurdles has helped me gain stronger, more mobile hips. I think any activity (like hurdling or sprinting) which makes you overall more athletic will nicely compliment learning to deadlift, by putting your body in a better state to undergo the learning period effectively (=as safely as possible).

@dirtrail You'll be happy to know that I've just started up on Show and Go again, this time I'm going for 405 lbs (I've been out of the gym for months because I've been a lazy bitch) and I am not ever going to wear shoes when I deadlift.
What's the link to the original video of the guy deadlifting and falling at 1:05 ?

@MazinMark Oh man it's been awhile. Just search deadlift fail and it's probably #1

WHY did you go back to wearing running/sports-shoes for the max lift??!! Get something flat soled, or even olympic weightlifting shoes. Anything which doesn't have a thick, squishy sole. If you start ramping the weight up significantly higher, you could be looking at knee or ankle injuries wearing shoes which dont give your heels solid contact with the floor. Great progress though! well done

@dirtrail The reason I went back to my 10 year old cross trainers is that I just felt stronger in shoes than barefoot, which is because my feet were still not very stable and are not right now either, but I'm committed to not using shoes now

@golfprogress getting used to that direct contact with the floor takes some getting used to after always using xtrainer/runnung shoes. My advice is: set-up your hands on the bar, set up your feet, pull bar to shins, and NOW- sit back a little more,rocking your weight onto the heels, apply some pull on the bar, feel your heels planted solid on the ground - that's an ideal way to start the pull - through the heels it'll be a more effective hamstrong/glute/hip movement. That's what I try to do

@dirtrail Thanks for the advice. That is really exactly what I'm trying to do, although supertight hamstrings need to be addressed to really be able to push my hips back
