The deadlift feels ok on the way up, that’s good. From your description you seem to do things correctly.

On the way down, the movement should be the exact opposite of the way up. Let the bar roll over your thighs, over your knees, over your shins until it’s at the ground. If the bar leaves your body, you’ll have increased torque on your lower back, which can cause lower back pain.

Btw, if you’re using 40-50kg to deadlift, be sure to use big plates (like for 20kg plates). Using a small plates is not optimal for learning correct deadlift technique.

I started deadlifts today, just doing 40-50kg which i no is not a lot but want to get my technique right. I keep the bar as close to me as possible and tighten my abs while pushing with my glute, feels ok on the way up but on the way down , by keeping the bar close to me, it ends up in my lap. If i pull it away for it to get on the floor it starts to give me lower back pain, have you any advice?

What would you like to see covered on the olympic lifts?

Tnx for the comment!
