rubinsteinnyc is on a distinguished road
can any of the experts analyze this because im reading all this and i get very confused... i am doing DL the conventional way, not for PLing, im 6.2, long arms... now, ive been pretty confident that the way i do a DL was right, this is how i do it.
1. grab the bar shoulder width
2.roll the bar to my shins
3. arch my back and i roll my shoulders forward
4. i DIG INTO the bar with my ass, i kinda take a swing at it ( first i drive w/ my legs-i think)
5. when i have the weight up, bar hanging in my hands i pull my sh. blades together and flex my back muscles, ( i don't hyper extend/flex my back) just lean back a tiny bit so i feel the erectors flexing
6. i lower the bar slowly and it's touching my thighs

thank you
