While lifting and pretending I'm not watching others deadlift with rounded backs in the mirror, I notice that they're practically hunched over the bar looking directly into the ground. I realized I've been doing something similar too. According to Candito, this is a combination of a flexibility and weak hams/glutes/quads so the body gets in the position which is strongest. This means using the lumbar and lower back muscles because they're much stronger than those leg muscles. While reviewing my deadlift videos for form flaws I finally realized after watching the below video that I'll take time setting up, get all psyched and ready, get in the perfect position for myself, and then my hips raise up and I basically do a stiff leg deadlift after taking my time getting ready. I mentioned a while ago I had bad back pain and lower back pumps, and I suppose this unnecessary lower back stress is the reason why. I know for me my issue is my weak squat and I intend to build that up while doing some form work on my deadlift. Just thought I'd share something that may help someone
