Yeah, I don't deadlift very often, back is definitely a weak link. I think I can dip my hips down a bit lower too so I can get my lower back a little flatter before I pull.

try keeping all the muscles on your back side (rear delts, upper/mid/lower back, glutes, hamstrings etc).
You can also fiddle with doing stiff legged deadlifts. You wont be able to do as much weight, but it will keep all the muscles activated as they won't "relax" at any point of the exercise like they do when you do a regular deadlifts.
With regular DL's, your body relaxes when you hit the ground at the end of each movement. You have to be very conscious of your mechanics, or else your back may relax, and you can seriously injure yourself.
Personally, I like SLDL's better than regular DL's because regular DL's, imo, are too similar in movement as a squat (which most people already do).

Thanks for the advice! I think I will do a lot more stiff legs along with deficit deads. I find those variations keep you honest... you're more aware of your back positioning and you know you can't get away with as much rounding.
Whereas with regular conventional deads I might have good intentions at first, but by the time I get to my last set I always just want to pull the most weight possible and bad things start to happen.
Weak ass chest workout today..a combination of lack of sleep and stress..tried for a new bench PR, couldnt even hit my previous PR. Just one of those days.
There are no principles, there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances. The superior espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.
Holy fuck, just had the best workout of the two years I have been training. Friend from UBCO came down to visit, and we went hit the gym late night with my other friend as well.
Pushed the fuck out of each other, and did 101.5lb DBx5 flat, and 91lb DBx4 incline @ 152lb BW.
Never went above 80s since I always trained at a community centre, and did barbell at Sport Central
