    Question Looking for Deadlift Critique - Video Included

    I've pulled my back twice (once lifting and once playing kickball <-- pathetic) looking to get back to moving a respectable amount of weight off the ground against it's will while maintaining great form to prevent another injury. I've included my most recent pulls (4/18/13)

    W/O was
    125 x 12 - Touch n Go
    175 x 8 - Touch n Go
    225 x (1 x 5) - Reset each pull
    275 x (1 x 3) - Reset each pull
    305 x 1 (Video1)
    325 x 1 (Video2)

    In hindsight I wish I had used lighter shorts in contrast to the back-round so it would be easier to analyze hip and knee movement throughout the lift.

    Thanks for taking a look, any help is much appreciated and +rep'd

    Edit: Oi! It says I am unable to post URLs until I have a certain amount of post counts. I'll try and spend the next few posting random encouragement or snide remarks in every subforum

    Normally, as a PT I’m able to critique my clients when they do deadlift I can help improve their form or tell them that they are doing it correctly. However, since your using a trap bar it’s hard to see your form.

    Ah, damn. Tried to modify the thread title just now to prevent that mislead again for others but I couldn't (or I am too stupid to find it).

    Next week I have:
    Heavy Squats
    Stiff Leg DLs (BB)
    Good Morning
    Weighted Wall Sits

    If I upload the Stiff-leg Deadlifts in here, would you care to take a look at them for me?

    Thanks and yes I use the trap bar for dead lift every other week - I get less stress on my lower back and there is no awkward change of leveraging strength during the maneuver on the decline (past the knees), therefor I can drop the weight more controlled and to the benefit of having more muscles under stress longer each rep.

    I've watched all this guys' videos on ********* and really respect his input on most of the compound lifts. Here's his take on the Trap Bar DL


    I also go into shrugs with fatty grips on the trap bar right after; so its kind of a 2 for 1 efficiency.
