Same here guys, I've been trying to do it for awhile now.bud_2005 said:Maybe I'm just not built to do deadlifts. I just can't figure out the form. I watched many youtube videos on how to do them. But my lower back always kills me afterwards. I'm getting really frustrated.
This is important. Also, remember to push off with the heel of your foot, not the ball of your foot.MrS said:You push your feet into the ground, push your hips forwards.
I dont think that could be the culprit. I have hamstring inflexibility, to such a degree that I can only touch the middle of my shin with my hands when bending over, no deeper. But it doesnt interfere with doing deadlifts because the movement doesnt include having to bend over while knees are straight, its bending over with knees flexed which doesnt stretch hamstrings to their limit.Quiksilver said:Can't believe no one's mentioned this yet...
It sounds like you have tight hamstrings, which is preventing you from using proper form. I agree you should give up on deadlifts... Until you loosen your hammies a bit.
Do a google search on hamstring stretches, and just do them every day.
as suggested by others above, there are lots of bad deadlift vids out there, esp. on youtube but also elsewhere.bud_2005 said:leaning back which it looked like they were doing in the videos.
