Nice and upright? I dont get any stress on my back if im "nice and upright". :( He also says in the first part 1 of these vids that people have a tendency to drop their ass..well how in the world am i supposed to be nice and upright if im not dropping my ass...confused.

My back hurts but 345x2 at 160 is pretty good weight

Mark is soo right, its a fucking back exersise. I hate it when people tell me put more legs into it! i bend down till shns hit the bar and then chest up..perfec form each time. @ 180 pulling 330x5 i think im doing somthing right.

@armenianderick Reach is usually your height LOL. Measure arm length, as short arms = broad shoulders.

all he says is right but does that mean that if you have a shitty deadlifter structure you can't deadlift? based on my experience no you can't at least not the regular deadlift I personally do the sumo and I can lift much more weight with less risk of injury
-
@sugmegpls As it seems from the video, you only want to do deadlifts if you can get the correct posture; if you can line up all the parts right while watching yourself in the gym mirror and it looks relatively like Rip says it does, I'd imagine it's probably okay.

What is avg reach?
The reason i ask is because im about 5'8-9 and have about 66-68in reach. How is my build for deadlifting?

He's just a shitty deadlifter.
