Like upper back? I’m already working on upper back strength with pull/chin ups and pendlay rows. Lately I haven’t been able to get the bar off the floor, unlike in that video.
Are you pulling the slack out of the bar? Have you tried pulling sana shoes?
eat more
Its all a technique problem, really try and push your chest up and get back on your heels, almost as if you’ll fall backwards.
First off, great call on posting a squat vid immediately. Without it the answer would have been “you arent squatting right/to depth” with no other consideration.
Anyone feel free to jump on this next part if its incorrect, Im not entirely sure on it: From what I see your hips are pretty high (not necessarily a bad thing), with that kind of setup your lower back has a larger ROM than it would with a lower hip/sumo setup. So that may be your weakness.
Also I personally find it hard to recruit my glutes when my hips are that high. Could try some glute activation stuff.
For getting more hamstring work in, something I’ve been doing (stole it from StormTheBeach) is doing 100 leg curls after my normal workout, usually superset with 100 face pulls because my upper back also pisses me off.
And finally, eating more aint a bad idea. You are fairly strong for your size, but you are still 155 pounds.
yeah Hips are fucking high as a kite
IMO, hip height is fine - just need to cue hip drive in a little better
What you need is more upper back strength. High rep heavy DB rows - add 10kg to you 10rm, and your deadlift will be stronger
Spar4tee: I didn’t pull the slack out in that video, but I have recently corrected that issue. I can’t deadlift without shoes at my gym, but I don’t really mind wear shoes so yeah.
Madmade: stfu
Mkral: Thanks aha, I used the search function before I posted this, and every just said high squat, so I thought to myself “fucker if they tell me i’m squatting high imma flip” so I posted a video.
I also know the higher hips increase the rom, but I feel strongest and tightest in the high hips position.
I’ll consider the leg curls/ face pulls.
Rollsroyce: I know, usually when I love them though, the bar drifts forward.
Caveman: I thought you can only use hip drive on the squat? That’s what Rippetoe said atleast. Thank you for your opinion, I feel I need more upper back strength as well, which is why I’m doing pendlay rows and pullups. I used to do high rep DB rows but I maxed out my gyms dumbbells (ONLY 100LBS LIKE WTF MAN)
Hip drive is only for squat… what??
And if you only weigh 155lbs and are 10rm 100lbs db rows… then nice.
it 100lbs is my 10rm db row haha

I agree with this. Your legs seem to be doing fine but your back looks like it is struggling a lot.
Get a light band from elite fts, and do band pull aparts several times a day, every day. Keep doing your pullups and rows.
Also, since you said goodmornings with 95lbs killed your hamstrings after 3 reps, work on these.
Edit: ill post what i was thinking of doing for training when im home, w/ goodmornings etc
Dude, on a serious note, you can’t expect to deadlift high when you barely deadlift…
Tons of people’s deadlift increase by squatting or a conjugate type method. Deadlifting often kills my recovery too, so then my squat doesn’t go up

If you aren’t deadlifting often, then that’s probably your biggest problem. Sure, there are several powerlifters that don’t deadlift very often, but worry about that when you get to a 500 pound deadlift.
If you can’t recover from deadlifting, you need to take a look at your diet.
If I can make good progress by not changing my diet and adding in goodmornongs and more rows then id rather do that then tax my body with deadlifts. The volume and intensity day in texas method is already pretty hard with the squats

It’s what the 15 year old Westside articles say, but it’s not how they train now. If you want a good deadlift you need to deadlift, at least as a beginner. You’ll be amazed by what your body can handle. You just need to give it an incentive to adapt.
That doesn’t mean you should go for a 1RM every week. More like set a new 7RM one week, new 5RM the next, new 3RM the week after that… Way easier to progress and feel that you are progressing.
I suggest you do 531 for deads (at least) and preferably some more deadlift volume after that. Learn to flex your erectors when you lift, your back looks pretty limp here. I had the same problem.
hip drive in deadlift = pushing through with groin, not hinging from back
Kakno: I see. Would you recommend 5/3/1 full body? It’s very similar to Texas method but instead of volume squat there is 5/3/1 deadlift. Is there any other type of program you’d recommend? Because there’s no way I could 5/3/1 deadlift after volume squat or intensity deadlift.
Caveman: Oh, I never knew that was called hip drive, I thought hip drive was only on the low bar back squat.

I know nothing about the Texas Method. If it works, do it.
All I know is 531 is a good way to train if you want to get stronger. It avoids common mistakes people make. I hear the Texas Method is very similar, but I know nothing about it.
I must say it sounds like you need deadlifts for reps though. So maybe 531 after all.
