Hi CT. When I deadlift I notice I have a hard time keeping my upper back tight and shoulders retracted. I begin to hunch sometimes as soon as I pull off the floor.
What’s the best way to improve upper back strength for deadlifts? Should I do compound lifts heavy with lower reps? Thanks
I’m thinking that it’s because you are focusing on the wrong muscles. When you say upper back tight and shoulders retracted it leads me to believe that you are focusing on rhomboids where you should be focusing on lats.
The sweeping deadlift is likely the best exercise for your objective.
