Dead lift form check

- Start date
First of all, good going on posting a video! Too many people don't and end up using bad form over long periods of time.
Are you going for a romanian deadlift or conventional deadlift? It looks more like a romanian (you are really doing a romanian deadlift) It looks like the back is a bit flexed when you lift it off the floor and when you put it down.
On to the lift:
It doesn't look too bad, though I would focus on getting more of an arch in my lower back. If you look at the lower part of your back you can see a little bump, that's what worries me.
As you start moving your hips back, just focus on arching the lower back. You may need to do a bit less ROM in order to do this
Also, lose the shoes, just do the DLs barefeet. The shoes look like regular running shoes or something. I bet the sole is really soft, which is great for absorbing impact from running, but not so great for stability when you are lifting heavy things.
Also, keep your shoulder blades back and your chest out.
Keep up the good work! And it's nice seing someone actually doing deadlifts for a change

@Karky, not too bad, at least you can shift some decent weight. Its fun seeing vids of other forum users as opposed to some huge powerlifter moving 800 lbs.
Good question, I dunno. I went romanian because it was the first one I learned. I just read a little about them, so the conventional is like a squat that works hams, glutes, and quads and the romanian is primarily hams and glutes right? Which is better? Seems like the conventional if it works more muscles.
I'll have the vid up today doing whatever you guys say is the better one.
