deadlift form check, after your suggestions

[fqqs]

Some weeks ago I posted my deadlift form and you suggested me some changes because it wasnt good. I tried to improve my form and see how it is:

what do you think?

Much better! Better spine position, hip position, hip extension at the top.

Still, I'd like to see you pull the bar back towards your body more, especially in the top half of the lift. Keep the bar nice and close to your body, and think about pulling the bar back, as well as up. That technique will help, especially during the heavier lifts.

Form is so important with deads. Best lift of all, but highly dangerous if performed improperly.

am I wrong or is he trying to up his post counter?

Is it me, or does he seem to slightly "shrug" or "roll" his shoulders at the top? Looks like rhomboids are a tad weak and he's 'setting' them once he's upright.

Much improved, well done.

Pull The Bar BACK

The bar is too far out in front of you. As Fufu stated, you need to pull the bar back on top of you.

Torque

The further away the bar is from you center of gravity, the greater the force (weight) of the bar.

Center of Gravity

So, pull the bar BACK toward your center of gravity.
