As my deadlift has increased, I have developed a slight backward lean when standing, possibly due to weak abdominals as compared to the back??? For you guys that are deadlifting 500ish, what are you using to build your abdominal strength?
I had the same problem. I told my Olympic lifting buddy about it. He replied swiftly, “Front Squats!”
He showed me how to do Front Squats I learnt after a handful of tries.
I started implementing Front Squats and I stopped having the problem. I stopped doing Front Squats now; my deadlift went way up, and I still don’t have the problem any more. :S
It wouldn’t hurt to try Front Squats. If your problem persists at least in the end you’ll put some size on your quads
yes all the above is great and just get that core work in ab work. Carrying things help as well. farmers, drag stuff, suit case and over head carries etc etc.
