That isn't form. Next time, don't round your back. If you can't lift it otherwise - you need to lower the weight.

This is how you deadlift if you're looking for a back injury. This one rep max master has been lucky so far.

For all the newbies out there, don't round your back when squatting or dead lifting - because none of these internet chumps are going to be there for you when you're stuck in bed for 1 week unable to move - or when you herniate a disc - please trust me on this one.

for the back problem get on a reverse hyper

is it me or is his back really rounded there?

When going for a pr technique often goes out the window. Dude doesn't even weigh 200lbs...I would give a little latitude on that one. Used the right technique to get the job done.

Also, for someone at this level as long as the rounding takes place at the right part of the spine (which it does here) should be good to go. Again for someone a this level. Probably best for most to follow strict technique as possible.

Definetly rounded. Most of the rounding is thoracic, but there is also plenty of lumbar flexion. It's not as much as a problem as many would have us believe.

Incredible lifting! I notice that a lot of the best deadlifters use a somewhat narrow stance-is the to capitalize on limb leverages and arm length? My back is a lot stronger than my legs, but i feel 'more stable' with a wider stance; maybe I'll try bringing it in a bit.
