What I deadlift has nothing to do with it. Do you have any idea how often uneducated people like you sustain back injuries every year due to improper deadlifting technique?[/quote]
Yeah they do, I happen to treat them. But the problem is your still wrong.
And I’m deadlifting 570 at 200 lbs, btw. You don’t want your hips to deep for deadlifting. As said, it’s not a reverse squat, it’s a deadlift.

Didn’t see that coming. Good job on learning rather then being hard headed.
I forgot where I heard it, but someone once said to me that if I can’t find the solution to a problem, look at myself. So I did that and I’m taking you guys’s advice.

Look, in all seriousness, I am sure your getting a good education (especially at PSU), however, if you ever want to use those skills in a real world capacity, you’re going to have to learn to blend science with practice (pun intended).

Sort of echoes Louis Simmons’ sentiments in that Under the Bar video from the Westside guys. I think there is a big gap between the scientific study of some of these strength movements and the actual application of the textbook learning. That is what makes powerlifting so challenging, we haven’t determined a ‘correct’ methodology yet and if one exists, it may be different from person to person.
I watched the video before readin your post and i thought you were deadlifting like 100 pounds or something, you made it look way way too easy. That’s some awesome stuff.
I’m just curious how old you are and what kind of plan did you follow?
Anyone else can help me out on that too. Thanks

Thanks for the input. Regarding pulling the shoulders back, I recently had a training session with John Pender, a powerlifter in Clayton, who told me not to pull my shoulders back, as keeping them forward keeps the bar lower and is perfectly fine with the judges.
Looking at my deadlifts, I was surprised by how high my hips were and how much back it appeared I was using. As one person noted, however, most of the heavier guys who pull big weights in a conventional deadlift employ this method.
I am mainly concerned with locking out my knees, which for some reason is a bit uncomfortable for me; my training partner mentioned that I would lock them out for a second then my knees would bend a bit. What do you guys think (are they fully locked out?) Here’s one of my speed sets from the same day, the weight is 425:

I don’t know if that pull was representative of what you do at meets. If it is, I would recommend you focus on holding your lockout for a second or two at the top.
When I went back conventional pulling last year, I tended to drop the weight as soon as I was anything close to locked. It was really a kind of a reflex.
Although I added in a lot of heavy rack pulls, I think that the thing that may fixed my problem was just making a deliberate effort to push my hips through and hold every pull- or if was doing reps, at least holding the weight on the last rep. When meet day came around, I didn’t even have to think about it. As long as the weight came over my knees, it went locked and stayed locked.

That shows the ability to really look at things critcally and think. It’s a good trait to have.
