Hip Hinging

Instead of feeling it in my hamstrings, feel it in calves

Is this strange? I’m guessing I’m lacking some dorsi-flexion, this also makes the lowering-part of deadlifts look like garbage because I can’t push my hips back enough to get the bar past my knees. Anyone dealt with this before?

Sounds like your deadlifting on your toes instead of your heals.

I agree. Work on those hips

How do rack pulls feel at knee level or mid shin level?

I’ve never done rack pulls tbh… just conventional deadlifts with a narrow stance. When I hip hinge i feel like my calves are stretching as opposed to my hams…
