I can't squat well since I hurt my knee a long time ago I have a restrain on my knee so I can't hold heavy weight and do a proper squat. as for romanian I do think it would be a lazy way to learn a proper deadlift haha

well like any lift, If it's heavy it will be hard but learning an another type of deadlift won't help the one I want to begin with ?

An RDL is a great way to strengthen your hammies and teach proper back position. It also helps with grip strength, proper starting position and a multitude of other things such as discipline.

The RDL is an incredible accessory movement that directly benefits a deadlift

I'm extremely new and 100% beginner mode on PL and to train myself to not pull with my back muscles I'm doing rack pulls.

Maybe it's something you could look into, unless lowering the weight fixes all your problems.

Something to do before you lift is to let your shoulders go and your arms fall into the bar.

This is what has been working for me :x

Good luck!

Terrible idea.. If this is what's necessary to complete a lift, lower the weight. The deadlift position needs to be extremely uncomfortable.. Like, so tight your lats and chest feel like they're going to explode.

Imagine you're a spring at the bottom, all the way compressed. You want to drive your feet through the fucking ground and make that weight your bitch, regardless if it's 135 lbs or 445 lbs.

Hmm maybe I'm not explaining it correctly

By letting your shoulders go I simply meant to not have them shrugged in any way - this may also only be something I experienced because I'm really new to it.

first time deadlift had my lower back doms super intense

its normal, even with good form, you dont usually engage the lower back that much

only way to tell if proper form or not is to look at the form, its not possible to tell based only on soreness

I remember my first time deadlifting. People told me to just throw 45's on each side because less weight would make the bar lower. I did that and pounded out 3 sets of 5 and then sat on a bus for 3-4 hours for my soccer game. Was the worst time of my life haha.
