How's my form look on this deadlift & I wanna do more!

[spiderpig]

2nd video I have ever done! Managed to hit 507lb today, not raw i need straps because my grip strength is just shit, I feel good lifting it but I feel as if my form is not to great! I wanna hit 250kg by the end of the year but i think my form need tidying up a little bit?

Looked ok, pretty close stance you have there. Good lift. I suggest working on your grip strength at lower weights and work up. You should be able to hit that without straps. Use chalk and overhand underhand grip. I used to be the same way but once I ditched the straps and worked on it every week with chalk my grip caught up.

Thank you mate, I gotta be straight with you, I don't want to do mixed grip because of one reason which is showed in this video = Biceps Tendon Tear -- Deadlift - YouTube

And I have never used chalk, but I do do the odd lift here and there raw, but i tear my hand to shreds

That's what deadliftings about man. Use chalk and do overhand underhand. Fuck straps on deadlifts.

Hard to tell much helpful from that angle. I suspect you have a bit too much of your body forward of the bar -Going by how quick your ass comes up and your knees lock; and the appearance that the bar doesn't really touch your leg until half way up your quad.

At 20s you really jerk the bar to get it started -there are good deadlifters who do this and get away with it, but if you're worried about joints and tendons and such I'd quit that.

Here's my coaching tips based on what I think I'm seeing: When you set up really get tight just before you pull -let your arms be relaxed like chains, let your upper shoulders relax but keep that lumbar flat. You're going to take a medium deep breath so that you can keep your upper back in a relaxed position (like not so deep your chest is puffed out). It looked like your ass was in an alright position to start, but it immediately came up when you jerked the bar. So bring that ass down and think about these two things: 1) activate your lats to pull the bar into you. 2) push through your heels.

Before you start the pull -like one second before, lean back take all the slack out of your arms and the bar. You're like a teeter-totter with the weight on one side and your ass on the other -get as much on your side of the teeter-totter as you can. Now think more "push" or maybe "squeeze" than "pull". Sometimes "pull" seems like more back-related. You're definitley going to be using your back, but I think you need to concentrate on putting some of the work on your legs.

You want to get your head behind the bar, but instead of looking up think about pulling your head back making a double chin if that makes sense.

I always suspect that those few biceps tendon injuries from deadlifting are guys that don't train mixed grip and then go to a competition and are suddenly doing maximum pulls in a way they haven't trained*

* I have absolutely no data to back this up

true what you are saying mate, but i did a lot of work on my form over the past few months, i never used to use my legs, it was like i was stiff leg deads all the time, It feels good how i lift and im pretty happy, i have not been training that long, and i realize my deadlifts are phenomenal compared to everyone else that trains with me or has, my back is by FAR my strongest point and I want to make something out of training and one day become a deadlift powerlifter, seriously i got hopes for it, in another 3 years or so i wanna be pulling 320kg at around 105kg body weight, i am focusing on legs much more now as well, considering i have not trained them at all untill a few months back. I'll just see how it goes, this is my goal! but also i wanna work on my bench too, but im just recovering from a shoulder injury
