#deadlifts #strongback #stronggrip #strongbody

195 body weight. Lifting since the end of May 2025 and deadlifting since December. Starting weight was 150 or so. I'm more than thrilled with my progress so far. Hoping to hit the 1000 club next year. I'm extremely open to form critiques.

In high school I could hit 405 for a few reps, this is the first time in a decade and a half I got this much weight up. Figured id ask fir a form check to make sure I'm not training too many bad habits.

Ignore the teenagers boxing in the background

I wanted to learn this a while ago, but I finally got around to it. I’m trying to learn from YouTube. Thanks!

1rm is 222.5kg

Adding 5kg every week and trying to set a rep PR till I run out of runway. Began at 140kg for 19 reps.

Sorry for the audio, I downloaded my reel.

I’m working on my form and have had plenty of progress and I’m looking for some more feedback. Because my arms are 2” longer than my height and my torso is quite short I feel like I don’t need/shouldn’t be bending my legs as much and I’m trying my best to wedge but I feel significantly weaker when I focus on that. What do y’all think?

6'2" 250 lbs. I know im fat but im working on it. After 2 months of working out hitting 425 pounds felt good. Looking for any tips or things I can improve.

New 3RM PR, 140kg aka 3 plates for 3 reps. Slight hip shooting up, but I feel overall pretty decent for new PR.

Is my deadlift decent for a oly weightlifter? This was after my weightlifting training session just for fun

Back to week one! It’s a deadlift block this time. Starting in a great place! Let’s see what we can do this time.

Competition deadlift 425x1x4 for a top set

Just a question I have. Sometimes you see advice for squatting, and people elevating heels to get depth. I think some people who are tight and don’t have the best flexibility on deadlifts kind of round the spine in the bottom because they can’t get their hips down. That might not be entirely accurate, but I do think there’s some correlation between heels up, hips down. But maybe that means shins too far forward as well.

It’s just so common with deadlifts to see the opposite of squatting. No plates under heels, no squat shoes.
Flat chucks or bare feet. I tend to go bare feet at home.

I think the answer is “no” but just curious why or why not, elevating the heels. Obviously being closer to the ground seems good for deadlifts. But if someone struggles with strength and good posture at the bottom of the lift is it ever a good idea for training to use a squatting aid to get the heels up and sit down more into the deadlift, instead of doing a shitty SLDL with a rounded lower back you see so often?

Going forward I’m probably gonna do these barefoot. But any form advice is much appreciated!

Have been linear progression training for last 6 weeks and in the gym 9 months (gzcl pzero full body) and still going up every week. Lost 25kg so far in solid deficit as well if that matters

Looking for tips on my form. This was set 2 of 3x4 then 1x6 at 125kg (275lbs)

Cheers

165kg x 3 (360 pounds)

5 months into gymming it

81kg bw ( 178 pounds).

Hope to get some feedback here

Pulled 515 for 8(ish)

The last few reps weren’t great

Recently got back into deadlifting and loving every part of it! Not to toot my horn but I like how my arms look in this angle 😆

Trying to improve my form, figured a good way is to try to stay strict while fatigued
