so... is ur back supposed to be completely vertical the whole way thru? as in perpendicular to the floor for the entire lift?
No. You don't need spotters either, if you drop the weight it hits the floor, not you.

Basically set the bar up, stand in front of it, plant your feet (width etc, get them in your comfy position), bend at the hips and set your grip. Keep your spine neutral and your back tight, drive through your heels and break at the hips, pull that motherfucker up. When you have the bar up and locked out (you will be standing slightly leaning backwards) you lower it.

If you are having trouble with keeping your back straight, you can look up a little bit, but its prob better to ask someone to check out your form. Depending on your build, you may scrape the bar up your shins, that's normal. The closer the bar is to your body, the better your leverage.

Depending on the variation of it you are doing, your legs can be bent or straight at the start. Straight legged is sometimes referred to as Romanian deadlift.

There are plenty of youtube vids up to help, articles to read.

You remember to count the barbell too? Depending on what type of barbell you have, it's at least 8-20kgs.

you should perfect your form before trying to lift anything heavier. 40kg sounds good for that.

yeah next saturday arvo i'll try deadlifting 40kg in perfect form before i think about stepping up.

never done deadlifts before, but since it mainly requires legs i reckon i'd be able to do at least 70-80kg.

Bench: 3x5 = 90kg
Deadlift 1x5 = 160kg

Your lifts are pretty decent, keep at it bro, should be swole in no time.

thats like the squillion and 47th time u've posted up ur stats, cannibal.
Mate, when you can put 140kg on your back, let alone 100kg, and squat down till your arse presses against your calves and come back up to do it again for 3x5 you'd also be pretty proud.
