    Practice with very low to no weight, work on flexibility and core stability.

    Pick a spot high on an opposite wall and keep your eyes on that spot for the entire set.

    You should pick a spot that requires your head to be slightly raised when in the standing position (and more raised in the squat position).

    (You should do this when squatting too.)

    This should resolve the issue and give you better balance too.

    All of these are great tips. I personally also benefit from trying to keep the bar as close to my legs when pulling as I can. I think that this helps to keep my shoulders back and chest out as mentioned previously.

    All good tips. Keeping the bar close to the body and the weight going through your heels is key, as is keeping that back tight - I always tell people "think baboon breeding position" - chest out, ass out, look up...
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.

    Deads

    Hey had this problem in the past too. Hope this helps.

    1) Lower the weight first and try correcting your form.


    2) When performing your deads, try looking forward instead.


    3) Get a weightlifting belt and strap it on TIGHT. (Not sure if this wld help, but it sure did for me. Kinnda gave me the extra boost and confidence to correct my form)

    Work hard bro and say hello ta your new-found lower back!
