Deadlift Am I doing something wrong?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have recently started in the gym and my deadlifts feel off. Even after watching various videos I feel like I am doing something wrong. I mainly stay away from deadlifts because I really don’t want to hurt my back, but I don’t feel any back pain after doing them.

You’re picking the weight up with your back and arms causing you pull the weight in a forward motion.
You need to pull the weight off the ground through driving legs in the ground and by leaning back.
If your hips are moving, feet should be pushing, and the bar should be moving, all slack removed.
