looking up as in staring in the mirror the whole timeƉ nah that shit compromises curvature of the rest of spine. head should be neutral, back should be neutral. you move at the knees and hips and the back musculature more or less contracts isometrically the entire time. get your spine set in neutral BEFORE you move at all (dont even touch the bar until you set your spine). i reach above my head before a set as if in the top position of a snatch, lock all vertebrae tight and then extend arms (anatomical extension) and crease at hips to touch bar without moving my spine. then just generate torque with hips and quads

The first couple were okay on descent as you were rounding at the upper back. The last couple were rounding more at the lower part of your back which is putting you at a bigger risk of injury.

I get where you're coming from about dropping the weight rather than slowly putting it down. There are 2 methods.

1. This is my preference. Let the bar free fall while letting your body fall with it. You shouldnt round at your back because you're putting literally zero restistence on the bar. This needs to be filmed and practiced with caution, or you'll round at your lower back.

2. Less preferred imo. Bring the bar down your thighs and resume to the floor. Essentially a perfect deadlift but backwards. This is much more taxing on the cns though and will ultimately result it lower reps and weight.

Lmk if you hAve more questions.

it should also be said that if he does go with number 1, let the bar rest a second before lifting again, no touch and go with that method as it will fuck up your back and also decrease the gains you are getting.

Ya I do #2 cause safer and I'm tall as heck. But it's definitely taxing your right on that one.

Pausing and resetting the form at the bottom is always a good idea. You need to pause to take another deep breath to re-tighten dat core anyway.

Solid point. I left that out. I forgot some people do touch and go tbh. I haven't done that in ages. I feel like it always leads to injuries if you're not 100% accurate on your form

Looks good on the lift, but you're arching your back on the way down.

By keeping your chin up and Always looking up it automatically keeps your back straight. Try that and that's all you have to do.
