SF Community I need your advice with my dead lifts.
The last 5 months or so my dead lift has been going backwards. With that being said I have extensively covered my training log and want to make mention of a few things that may clarify where I am going with this. I now O lift and have switched my my squat over the the high bar ATG squat from the power squat. I am following a conjugate type squat every day routine and I am breaking PRs on everything now, which is really exciting.
Please bear with me, the above info mentioned has a point i am trying to make. Basically I like the routine I am doing as it is working for me right now, all except for the dead lift and from best I can tell, it seems as though my quads have become so over dominant now, I think my posterier chain isn't firing. DLs feel weird to me now, I used to really be able to feel my hips,glutes and hams during the lift and now i feel a lot of tension in my lower back instead.
Ok to my point, any advice on how to fix this without having to change my routine? Perhaps a high volume of 48 KG KB swings, RDLs and barbell hip bridges?
Thanks,
Andy
