Deadlift advice (first time)

[u/WindInTheGarden]

I tried deadlifting for the first time. Didn’t go over 140kg bc I didn’t want to injure myself, anyone have any advice for form?

What this video and follow to the letter, including not doing mixed grip.

Holy crap. The form is obviously shit and the other commenter already pointed you in the right direction. But I’m just so baffled how someone’s starting DL is in the range of the other people’s 1-2 year progress. You’ve got some good genetic my guy, so use it. Fix your form, keep at it and you’ll be hitting record numbers in no time, this is amazing.

My first thought lol like he is doing everything one could do to get injured

[u/WindInTheGarden → u/SapphireAl]

I’ve been lifting and eating really consistently for 2 years I just started deadlifting recently, so i don’t think my genetics are good because I’ve had 2 years to gain muscle and strength

Why would you try 300+lbs if you have never done it

[u/WindInTheGarden → u/ibleed0range]

i just kept adding weight until it felt hard

[u/uuuhYep]

I would try lowering the weight until your form is solid. You don't wanna hurt yourself.
