@Kloi www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ieuEnlIEV4. Here's a pretty good overview of deadlift technique. The part about bracing might be especially helpful. The guy demonstrating is a 900 lb puller, which is insane for his body weight (or any body weight). There's also a bench press video of the crew at this gym benching, and they are quite impressive. The weakest one is the Asian guy, who paused 429 for 3 reps. The other guy paused 463 for 5 reps then hit an easy single with 562, and another guy with them paused 518 for a single.

How to get glute activation with deadlift?

Check out SquatUniversity on YouTube

I could have sworn I saw a recent short from him about this, but I haven't been able to dig it back up

It must be in there somewhere

Even if I'm mistaken or he's taken it down (he insides footage from other people's videos a lot, so possible copyright hit), his content is well worth watching

@SeasonedRP

I'm going to grease the groove by deadlifting almost every lift day, albeit just a plate.

I've got some hip flexor issues that are being addressed and swapped from conventional to somewhere in between that and summo which seemed to help with the lower back.

I dont want to call it pain but that's where I mainly feel the lift at this point in my life.

@Kloi Your low back might not be arched enough. My cues for starting the pull are to pull the slack out of the bar and squeeze my glutes together.

How to get glute activation with deadlift?

Yes I'm googling it, yes I can link a video later this weekend.

My hamstrings just always seem to take over, even with RDL after I took a few years off from the gym.

Even then was pulling 3 plates, upon reflection, I always felt it more in my lower back.

Hips would be my guess, not going back far enough. Anyone go through similar problems and how did you practice/fix the issue?

Swapped out my typical, pre lift cardio for more dynamic movements.

Think bike/treadmill for rowing/playing catch off the wall with a medicine ball.

@Kloi Sounds like a good plan to me. I've trained for periods of time where I've done the big 3 but not at high volume and focused on assistance work usually at 8 reps and up. More of a bodybuilding than a strength routine. I started out training that way and have gone back to it from time to time.

Trying something different; I think the kids call it power building.

PPL twice a week, opening with one of the main lifts for two heavy sets then the rest of the work out hitting the 8-12 rep range.

Example being today was OHP heavy next push day would be some form of heavy Bench.

Also dropping down from 3 sets to 2 working sets per work out.

Hopefully this will elevate some soreness that lingers. Helping me to focus on 4 good sets a week vs 6 per exercise.
