so i’ve been watching videos of Konstantin konstantinovs (awesome name) deadlifts and recently reread andy bolton and elliot newman’s 1008lb deadlift article. Obviously Konstantin pulls with a very rounded upper back, and in the article andy said one should “relax” the upper back while maintaining arch in the lower spine (not sure if he’s saying to intentionally round the back).
i’ve been trying out the upper back rounding and it seems to have helped; i’m feeling stronger in my pulls. I’m just wondering if anyone deadlifts/has deadlifted in this manner and if there is any advice that could be given. Obviously i’m very wary of this method as a slip-up in focus where i round/consistently round my lower back is asking for trouble.
thanks in advance
