Deadlift Form Check

This week we are going to take a look at the deadlift.  This blog will be a summative assessment worth 10 points.  You have been working hard to get your form right because done incorrectly the deadlift can cause issues with your back.  Take a look at the video below and let me know if you think his form is perfect or needs some work.  If you think the form needs work, what does he need to fix and how would you help him fix it?

  1. It's not perfect because his head is up when it should be down and his upper body and lower body come up at different times when they should come up simultaniously

  2. its not perfect because it looks to me like he is arching his back as well as he is looking up when he should be looking down to keep the three points of contact.

  4. He isn't doing a good job of keeping the three points of contact in line and when he first goes to attempt at lifting, his ankles are very far away from the bar.

  5. Bad form
    1. he stripper lifts (makes his legs straight, then pulls his upper body up). he needs to work on lifting his upper body and making his legs straight at the same time.
    2. no three points of contact. chest needs to be pushed out, shoulders pushed back, head should looking straight not up when he lifting, and he should stop arching his lower back
    3. he is bending his knees way to much. he should be pushing his hip back as far as he can, then bend his knees

  6. He has a slight bend in his lower back, should work on straightening it out

  7. The subject is not performing the dead-lift appropriately. He rounds his back, does not pull back his shoulders and push out his chest, and also contorts his neck into weird shapes by not looking ahead-down. Consequently, he bend too much in his knees. On top of that, he does not synchronize his upper and lower body movements.

  8. It is not perfect because he does not keep the 3 points of contact throughout the exercise. Alo his back does arc a litttle and his head is up and it should be down. His upper body and lower body also do not go up and down at the same time and they should. Your body should move as one piece.

  10. It's not perfect b/c he needs to keep his head normal and keep his back from arching while he lifts. He needs to lift more with his legs, not his back.

  11. Its decent but his back starts to arch on the second rep. He needs to push his hips out more and straighten his back and lower his head a little bit.

  12. He's doing a pretty bad job because for one he needs to be going back down with his butt and he needs to keep the bar on his legs the whole time and he needs the 3 points of contact throughout the whole set

  14. He doesnt keep his 3 points of contact, he arches his back too much and he starts his lift with his butt and does a "stripper lift"

  15. He bends his back when he lifts the weight and he begins the deadlift by lifting his butt first. He also has his head up when he should have his head down to help maintain the three points of contact. What he does do well though is push out his shoulders at the top of the lift.

  16. No 3 points of contact and he brings his butt up first which puts all the weight on his back.

  17. He did the stripper dead lift, and is not good looking enough to be doing that. He should be lifting with the hips and shoulders at the same time and keep the three points of contact.

    ReplyDelete
  18. He has a band in his back when he is going down to lift the weight and he does not have the 3 points of contact( he is looking up). Also his hips and shoulders are not moving in 1 motion.

  20. His upper and lower and body does not move in one motion,he moves his butt up first. His head is kept up while he lifts, and he does not have three points of contact. He also arches his back. This is not good form for a dead lift.-Nabeel Emran P.D7

  21. He doesnt keep the 3 points of contact. He also but his butt up first before anything else.

  22. In the beginning, his chest is not fully out, and his back is slightly rounded

    ReplyDelete
  23. I dont see the neutral spine because he lifts his head up when he lifts. I feel that he should expose his chest more and have a bigger bend in the hips.

    Alex Walsh

  24. When he starts to lift he puts his head all the way back, losing the three points of contact. He shouldn't be moving his torso so much and needs to keep his chest all the way out the entire time.

  25. He was doing deadlift not perfectly because of his head and his chest. His head should be down when he put it down to the ground. His chest should be up while deadlifting.

  26. 1. His neck was arched backward, not maintaining 3 points of contact along the spine.
    2. He did not begin lowering the bar by pushing back with his hips and squatting.
    3. He needs to squat lower before starting.
    4. He seems to be lowering and raising the bar with his back instead of pushing off the ground with his legs.

  30. He does not maintain 3 points of contact because his head is up during the lift. He does not squat and push his hips back to lower the weight, instead he is using his back to lower it.

  33. It is not perfect as he does not maintain the 3 points of contact. His back is up when it should be down. Also, his back has a slight arch which is not good either. He needs to keep that straight. Finally, is body needs to move as one piece not lower body then upper body as he does.

    Jake Shulman

  34. No-- he doesn't keep the 3 points of contact and his back arches a little. He should make sure that his entire body is moving in one motion, not separate parts moving in the wrong sequence order.

  35. Its not perfect. It looks like he arched his back and his head is up not maintaining 3 points of contact.

  36. Not only is his head up, which doesn't allow him to maintain the three points of contact, but his back is arched slightly, and his butt comes up before his legs.

  37. 1) His head is up when it should be kept down. He doesn't have the 3 points on contact.
    2) He moves his butt first, instead of moving his body at once.

  38. 1)His back is arching forward

  39. It is not perfect. He needs to put his head down at certain points to keep the 3 points of contact. Also, his butt is usually moving before the rest of his body.

  40. he does not have the three points of conact and he lets his hips rise too fast so that his legs are extended before his back is perpendicular. it is actually a pretty good deadlift

  41. his head is pointed up insteadstaying flat and his butt rises faster than his back\

  42. He was looking forward the entire time, eliminating three points of contact. It seems that he begins to lift with his back towards the end of each lift, especially near the end of the set. he may be rising a bit too fast but other than that it looked pretty good.

  43. The guy didn't lift the weight perfectly. He didn't put his head down and kept it up the entire time and went a bit too fast when he was rising. Wasn't keeping 3 points of contact either

  44. this guy isnt lifting the weights perfectly. he doesnt have the 3 points of contact. he is also straightening his legs out before he starts to actually pull the weight.

  45. His head is up, which is throwing off his 3 points of contact. Also, there is an arch in his lower back when he gets down low that shouldn't be there. Overall it's not bad, but it needs work.

  46. In this video, the person working out has good form. There is only one thing that i see wrong, his head does not face the ground when he is i the lower deadlift position. Basically, there are only two points of contact not, three. Overall i would say his form might be better than mine.

  47. In this video, his back looks like he is arching foward to a point that it could damage his back later on. He also has to remember the 3 points of contact. His head is up which throws off one of the points of contact. Overall, i would say it isnt the best form, it does need work but it isn't terrible.

  48. His head is up the whole time, when it should be down, so he doesn't have the 3 points of contact. Also, his back needs to be in more instead of out more, so he doesn't hurt it.

  49. He is missing the three points of contact(his head is up). Also his back is curved to the outside instead of the inside.

  50. He does not have 3 points of contact as his head is up, he also has a slight bend in his back sometimes. He also lifts with his lower body before his upper body when it should be simultaneous putting all the weight on his back

  63. His back round at times when he is in his ready position about to lift the weight up. this caused him to have a poor deadlift at times and he does not maintain the 3 points of contact the whole time.

    -Andy Carrion

    ReplyDelete
  64. He doesm't keep all 3 points of contact, because he is arching his neck up causing him to lose it. Also his back is rounded when he goes to lift up the bar especially when he bends down.His knees goes past his shins which could take away pressure that should be on his heels.

  68. He does not have the 3 points of contact; his head is not leveled and his back is arched outward which could really hurt his back. Also as he went down he did not squat he just bent his knees.

    He doesn't go close enough to the bar with his eet underneath. He doesn't keep three points of contactas well as his hips rising faster than his chest

  74. His feet aren't underneath the bar enough and his head also should not be up. There aren't three points of contact and his spine isn't straight enough. The bar also isn't in contact with his legs at all times.

  75. His head should be straighter and not up, he should also have the bar up against his knees when lifting. Also his back is too arched, should keep 3 points of contact.
