Form Check Deadlift stuck at 150 kg despite a 170 kg squat and 120 kg bench!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm a 21-year-old male, 170 cm (5'7") and around 83 kg.

Current lifts:

  • Bench: 120 kg
  • Squat: 170 kg
  • Deadlift: 150 kg (conventional)

My deadlift is noticeably behind my other lifts, which is why I'm looking for feedback. I've been stuck at 150 kg for quite a while. I've pulled it multiple times, both cleanly and with some grind, but I cannot get 160 kg off the floor, not even an inch.

This video is from yesterday and is probably the best example because it's recent. It's not my cleanest rep, but it's representative of how I pull near my max.

I'd appreciate feedback on:

  • Setup
  • Starting position
  • Bar path
  • Bracing
  • Hip position
  • Lockout
  • Any obvious technical errors
  • Whether this looks like a technique issue, a programming issue, or simply a lack of deadlift-specific practice

For context, I haven't trained deadlifts consistently over the past year. I stopped prioritizing them because I wasn't making progress and they were very fatiguing. I've recently started training them again, so inconsistent practice is definitely part of the picture.

I pull conventional, use a belt, and don't use straps. I've tried straps before and they help a little, but I prefer not to rely on them unless they're absolutely necessary.

One thing I notice is that my hips seem to rise before my chest, but I'm not sure whether that's the main issue or just a symptom of something else. I'm looking for honest criticism and suggestions on what to fix.

Lift Abs engage on Every Workout.

For sometime now I feel my abs engaging no matter what muscle group im working. In my experience it's due to the level of focus, intensity and overall muscle development. I don't do many targeted abs/core exercises during my weekly workout out schedule

82kg bodyweight with 50kg extra (132kg total). I’m not happy with the video so I’ll redo it with a wider shot to show the full dead hang and chin over the bar. Tips and form checks welcome!

11 x 175 for press. Two rep pr which is nice

I am very ass at squat patterns and hit 510 on Hatfield. Needed to find a training max and figured why not do it after pressing! I'm a shameless fraud and will be telling my non lifter friends and family that I squat in the 500s now
