Reply With QuoteI believe it's called plantar flexion, but I can't imagine it being that poor. Try the exercise with just the bar. You'll definitely develop the flexibility you need and you should be able to have perfect form with that weight.

Bad deadlift form.
When i do my deadlifts, it feels like all the weight is on my toes almost. But if i try to lean back more my form goes to shit. Do you think it's because i need to increase the flexibility of my hamstrings?... Or what is going on

straighten out your back, bend your knees slightly and pull the weight back untill it is balanced correctly, also dont lean over the bar! have someone you trust watch your form!!!

I would guess either a lack of flexiblity in your hammies as you said, or possibly a weak lower back. Start stretching and doing pull-throughs, hyperextensions, and reverse hyperextensions.

I agree that it sounds like the lifter is leaning over too far. At the bottom of the deadlift your legs should be working, not your back. Originally Posted by MyK

i just started doing deadlifts. question: in between deadlift reps, are you supposed to rest the weight on the ground, or keep it just a little off the ground to keep constant pressure on your muscles?

Some people actually "bounce" it off the ground. I used to do this, but I figured it would be more beneficial in terms of transferring to a good 1RM if I stopped for a second on the ground, so now I do that. I usually like to touch the ground for a full range of motion, but as long as you get really close to the ground you would still benefit greatly from doing deadlifts. Originally Posted by garethhe

i drag the weight up my shins, keep my balance nice. My shins are all busted up from it, I love the pain.. I do a slight bounce on the floor, the sounds of the weight clanging on the ground tell me to pick the weight back up. almost like the dog salavating and the bell. I belive it was pavolof.
