Deadlift help!!

[QTip]

There are two schools of thought to help you out:
1) Pack your neck -- elongate your cervical spine and keep your chin packed in. Your form is very back dominant, but some deadlifters prefer this technique. Also, to prevent excessive rounding, work on your upper back stability/strength. You need to keep that upper back tight, some thoracic rounding is ok at the start, but you should get it straightened out as you come up.
2) What Cobalt said. Lean back and get your hips lower on your heavier attempts. Your hips are going to come up on your heavier sets, so start with them a little lower to compensate. When you start to pull, lean back -- think of it like a teeter-totter (Dave Tate explains this well). Like a see-saw, your body is leaning back which allows your bodyweight to leverage the bar up to break it from the ground. I get indentations in my shins from the bar on my heavy sets. The bar will pull away from your shins as you start to come up, so don't worry about excessive dragging and scraping your shins. It may scrape a little, but you should not lose a strip of skin!

Check out some of my IG vids, have a vid of me deadlifting 625, and some competition deadlifts. Some are not the best example but you can see some of the neck-packing technique which I recently switched to. I still do the 2nd type as well, getting my hips low because I am somewhat quad-dominant and it helps to allow the quads to help break the bar from the ground.
