Lets Have a Serious as Heart Worms Talk about Deadlifting

I'm always scared I'm doing it wrong so I hardly ever try it.

I rarely did deadliest.

WTF? Do you even lift bro?

Seriously, how much you weigh? Might need a video before answering to check form.

Same here. I've tried it a few times. Don't feel like I'm doing anything. Also, I feel like I'm going to throw my back out. Am I doing it wrong?

Can any experts help me out?

I do a low weight to lessen the stress on my back but shorter rest/higher reps

Yes, Pinch shoulder blades, flex rear leg muscles, drive HEELS into the ground, tighten arse/thrust hips forward at the top.

You do bend your legs slightly though, right?

Bend your knees more and lean back against the bar to preload your arms a little. It's a leg lift until you get the bar around about mid thigh.

I'm not an expert though so don't listen to what I say.

I don't do stiff legged ones.

Isn't this a Good Morning?

Do them but use good form and don't go heavy. I am young and my back is shot. I can't squat or do much of anything that requires any movement at the hip. It makes working out and doing fun physical things a bitch and even fricks up sex sometimes. Whatever you do, take care of your back. Hoping when I grad and get good insurance I can rehab it back or have surgery to get it fixed.

yes, the bar should ride your shins up. If you scrape skin off your shin you're doing it right

Imagine a vertical plane thru your shoulders down through the bar. You don't want that plane to break all the way up.

yeah I watched tons of videos and I bend legs, weight on heels, arms straight back tight/not rounded, drive heels to the floor, squeeze butt checks and fire your hips to lock at the top…slowly return weight to floor (don't bounce it) before doing next rep.

One key I learned is almost scrape the barbell against your shins
