Personally I don't do deadlifts, but they are great for your back, but yeah just perfect your form before adding on heavier weight and you should be fine
try some 5x5 strength programs to up your numbers, or a 5x3 powerlifting program once your lifts start going up

I'm also focusing on letting it down safely. (dropping is completely different is actually dangerous af for the people around me since i'm in a small gym)

When you come up really flex out that chest.
Need any tips, look up Maxx Chewning

 

[Itachi.]

What you're doing are Roman deadlifts/ Stiff leg deadlifts. They focus more on your lower back and hamstrings.

Watch a few videos on how to perfect the form, it took me almost 4 months to get hang of the Olympic deadlift form. Keep practicing bro GL

The weight you are using seems okay, try aiming your chest up towards the roof whenever you do deadlifts that should fix your back

 

[John Mayer]

Your starting point is way too high. Pull shoulder blades together, get lower, and look up when you pull.

 

[kranky]

Look up the the roof, chin always up and when you get to the top thrust your hips forward and engage your lower back. Stretch a lot you look like you have no flexibility when you bring the bar down past your knees. Keep up the grind

consider hiring a trainer at the gym to teach you form and watch over you.

Try lifting it a bit more slowly and focus more on your form. You shouldn't be putting that much stress into your lower back like you're doing, you're going to end up pulling something

 

[Lean]

You should be focusing more on the lift than the let down, if you really need to you could always drop the bar after lifting and not pull anything. It seems like you're trying to slowly lower the bar when you shouldn't be worrying about that at all. When I dead lift (which is pretty rare, because I have no use for it) I just drop the bar every time I lift it. If you're trying to build up your back dead lifting that way is probably one of the worst ways to go about it. There are a lot better ways to build your back than dead lifting

 

[Flexability]

Try not to pull with your legs. Your knees should not go over your toes, which they dont but they do move a bit forward. Pretend you are trying to rip the floor apart with your feet. and tbh dont even deadlift or rackpull atm. Take your hands and put them in the cusp of your hip, where your thigh meets your hip, and try and push your ass backwards, keeping your back flat like a table, while bending forward. I can post a video of myself doing this movement, along with a video of a rackpull, which you should start with instead of a deadlift, and of course a deadlift. you should also work on controlling the bar on the way down. many people just drop the bar which if you are deadlifting 400+ pounds i understand but you miss out on an entire part of the movement if you are dropping lightish weight. Message me if you have any questions
