tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 25.08.2012 @ 13:18 PM by Simeon I'm trying to sort my form out on the deadlift, and have come across a problem. When I try to get as much speed off the floor, I rip the bar off the ground and it flies - however my form goes to st and my lockout suffers. However, if i try to keep good form at the start and squeeze the bar off the floor at the start it's slow as fk at the beginning but the lockout out is easy. Here's a couple of vids to demonstrate: s**t form, good speed: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150834616848284&set=... good form, slow start: any tips for maintaining good form at the start, and yet still having good speed off the floor? Thanks.

Allegedly very strong, but only Carls word for it Member 682, 838 posts	The facebook one says unavailable. When you pull fast off the floor, does your back round? Rounded back at the start can make lockout harder

Member 3194, 64 posts SQ 255, BP 155, DL 290 700.0 kgs @ 118.8kgs UnEq	try some bands, that should help build speed.

Just need to take the strain, pull the bar without lifting it, then explode

Cleverer than YOU Member 1228, 1046 posts	Air in the belly and squeeze the abs hard and pull, I guarantee it wiLl be difficult for your back to round.

Member. Member 2171, 1612 posts	What I have found helps is taking the slack out of the bar, as others mentioned, but to do so I pull myself down into position. This puts you in a position that is ready to lift.
