It is recommended that you tuck your chin to keep your neck in line with your spine.
Not sticking out, looking out at the bottom of the movement.
Rest looks fine.

I did these last night with just 25 pound dumbells in my hand. Due to the low weight I did 3 sets of 15. My heart was pounding the blood something fierce! Much more than doing bicep curls or over-head press with them.

A deadlift that is dropped is only half a lift. :x

I used to have a real problem where my butt would shoot into the air as I pulled the bar. This meant my shoulders were almost inline with my hips as the bar was about to leave the floor. As a result, my back took most of the torture. I’ve seen this as a common issue with MOST folks who try out the deadlift.

There’s two tips that helped improve my deadlift and it’s really simple.

LEAD WITH THE CHEST.& PUSH YOUR KNEES OUT.

Anyone having issues with a rounded back but remember these two things when you step to the bar and I guarantee you, your form will improve.

stay safe,

Dennis

I am 55. Been lifting for about 5 years. Dead lifts have been a big part of my routine for about 3 years. I had a knee replacement about 13 years ago so I was hesitant in the beginning about dead lifts. I started slowly, i only lift heavy about every 3-4 weeks. Today I did 425 with out much problem. In the future I do believe 500 is a possibility for me. I weight about 240.

On a slightly different note to the rest of the comments… Where can I get a leotard like that? Seriously. I am not joking.
