Okay FINE, I will post it.
But it embarrasses me and kinda makes me want to cry.
WHY CAN’T I JUST GET THIS RIGHT?! I have been trying to fix this for YEARS!! SHAKES FIST/CRIES
That was a very impressive stiff-legged deadlift 
You need your hips down, yep That’ll help fix that.
Again, you just need to make a mental shift with how you’re approaching the lift. You’re very obviously thinking “Pull the bar off the ground.”
if you switch to “Push the ground away with the legs.”, you’ll try to keep your hips down to push more.
When you get ready to lift, get a little pressure on the bar and use it to pull your hips down beforehand. It’s not a hard fix, I promise.
I think it was an awesome lift, Jennalicious!
and the way that the cam jumped around when you dropped the weight made it look like the earth shook!
And when I say “Hips down”, I don’t even mean a lot, either. Just lower than your shoulders so the legs can push away from the ground and the back can remain solid. The legs and hips have to be doing the work, though. The back’s entire purpose is to remain rigid and tight. The quads, hips and hamstrings do all the work.
A bit of a demo here (still not great, but like I said, you can see the hips don’t drop much. Just enough to drive downward.):
That push the ground away thing sounds ridiculous but it makes a difference for sure! Try it.
There’s all kinds of awesome in here Spocky! Congrats on owning the presentations, and dat ass.
Throw away old sexy time toy, get new sexy time toy. I tend to clear out everything sexy related post break up. Getting off is so mental for us over thinking women that any sort of bad mojo gets in the way. Also because of that I’m going to suggest reading some smut. I always find it to be a nice transition out of post break up hibernation.
oh my god spock!!! First off WAY TO GO BADASS!! And also, your dead was increcible!!! 
Pr’s aren’t really pretty! I only…I only wish I could see more of you!!!
That is a MASSIVE lift!! !!! How dare you degrade an OVER TWICE BW dead!!! I don’t have that right now you punk!! MY GOD!!! Its celebration time!!!
Next time_which I know there’l be a next time–try a vid from the front, from farther away. That angle is kinda off, but still you got it on film-- a great lift :)!!!

Awww Spunkie! You are as cute as they come. W/a matching backside.
Maybe drop some wt & work on the rhythm of the movement. It did look heavy. Don’t wanna throw your back out.
‘Don’t look back in anger.’
Oh, and I totally forgot!
Wrestlers have the best bodies of all the sports. All compact and muscle and lean, and omnomnom!
And they know how to move well!
Check out supertraining.tv for deadlift instruction. Mark Bell has a ton of good info on there.
Thanks for the post workout support guys, ha-ha. I told myself I was probably using all the same muscles as I would be for good form deadlifting so I still built strength today even if it wasn’t perfect. And last 3x3 I got 185x7, this time I got 195x7. I mean, I still improved something…or something.
I must remind myself that this is a sport where you can ALWAYS tinker with things so that you can come out stronger. You can always learn, and always improve. That is why it’s fun and rewarding. Even the strongest dudes out there had weird lookin’ lifts at some point.
whewf I will survive.
And print, it’s funny cause I filmed all my sets today and every single one of them looked like that, so it wasn’t just the heavy factor. It’s just me! I can get better and then maybe it wont look so heavy.
And here is a pic so my previous downer attitude doesn’t lose me any log fans…
strong and cute to boot.

OMG! My heart fluttered!! Spock deadlifting domination video! LOVE IT!
Way to go!!!
A few minor fixes… nothings serious. Keep your head up, girl. You’re coming along amazingly and that’s better (and stronger) than most of the tough guys I work with. I’m impressed. SRS!
Honestly? I couldn’t get beyond that first frame with you bent over ass out. sigh such a beautiful ass!
And I’m so glad you filmed it. Film don’t lie, and you’ll only be better for it. I know I always feel a little bit like a douche busting out my camera, but it helps so much and it’s nice to see progression.
Nice work…I don’t think you have any need to worry about losing fans, hotstuffs.

x 2.
Mark Bell is awesome.
Nothing fucks up training more than a lower back injury.
Grats on the PR pull Definitely look into the links people have given about form on the DL. None of us want you putting your back out!! If you want, maybe we can plan a workout together and I can smack your ass every time you start to break form 
1 - you are a freakin hottie.
2- focus on using legs more as others are saying
3- you picked that shit up. it still counts. don’t make a habit of it cause that’s when you get hurt. watch a few good vids and learn.
4- I’m still learning. so are others who have way more experience than I do.
So, somebody else here likes Jurassic Park. Awesome.
Way to go on the deadlift PR also. I have a few thoughts on the lift for you if you don’t mind:
-
Don’t be embarrassed for it. We all have things we need to correct with our lifting.
-
It looks like you put your shins right against the bar at the start of the lift. When you do this, it becomes impossible to pull back, as the bar is already against you. Try setting your feet so that the bar is right over the highest point of your foots arch.
-
once you set your grip, take a very deep breath and hold the air low in your gut, trying to force your abdominal wall out and forward against your belt. This will create a great deal of tightness in your torso and should keep your lower back from rounding.
-
Right after you take your deep breath, pull your rear down with your hamstrings and your glutes. You shouldn’t sink down to a full squat though. At the start, your arms should be perpendicular to the floor. Watching the video, your back stops rounding and the bar begins to move upward once your arms are perpendicular to the ground. Your back rounded to accomplish this because your hips did not sink.
-
Lift up your big toes slightly. This will keep the weight on the balls of your feet. This is very important, as it helps prevent hitching at the top, and keeps the weight from getting out in front of you.
-
Pull with your hams/glutes/quads to pull the slack out of the bar(you did this part pretty well).
-
Now that the slack is out of the bar, try to drive your heels through the floor with your quads. To me this feels a bit similar to a leg press almost. This should bring the bar to your knees.
-
Once the bar is at your knees, Drive your hips forward as hard as you can with your hams/glutes while still pulling the bar back into you with all of your back.
-
Lock the bar out and be done with a good deadlift.
As a last note, don’t look into mirrors when you deadlift or when you squat. Turn away from them and pick a point that is out in front of you to focus on.
I hope my above rambling helps. Again, don’t be embarrassed or sad about things like this. They are simply areas to work on and improve. With time, this will become a strength for you I think, as you already have a rather stout deadlift. Happy lifting, and I’ll be following along.
Hell yeah spock nice pr and another hell yeah for a video.
As others have said, yes your form wasn’t perfect but that is the great thing about videos. They are an awesome tool to use for aiding and improving your form. Going for a PR sometimes can limit your ability to keep perfect form even if you usually have perfect form.
Not really alot to add to what everyone has said, just make sure your core stays super tight to keep the lower back in the non-rounded position neutral to slightly arched postion and to start a little lower.
I really like what andy says about the setup.
See what happens when you film lifts and post them you get some advice.
Strong and fun-sized!
I also like the points Dove posted. So thanks from me Dove, for those too.
Keep this w/you Spooky.
