So very puzzled and disappointed by my weakness at DL. Barely got 255 3 times today. I can squat 300 that many times. I could barely bend the bar at 275. Other than having very short arms putting me in a low position, I just don't understand why this is the way it is.

first lets not blame it on your arm length.

2nd hows your grip strength ? What do you actually feel is failing you?


short and concise video i like


pay special attention when he speaks about engaging the posterior chain. This is the biggest fault i see in most newbs when deadlifting. They want to set up in a clean position rather than a deadlift. Make sure those hammies are firing. Make sure weight is in heels.
