Question Thread 24

New thread because the old one's too damn long. Please read the rules below. 

Rules: 

1. Don't reply to my reply with another question. Patreon makes it impossible to navigate and find it once the thread becomes long enough. The email notification doesn't take me to your reply, it just takes me to this thread. Instead, write a new comment/question.

2. Each Patron gets one post per question thread answered. It's not sustainable otherwise. New question threads are made every few days.

3. Use shift+enter to make a break. On a cell phone, hit Return twice to do the same. Don't post an unreadable mess. 

4. Zach Moore and Patrick Tucker are qualified personal trainers. They give great advice/answers and jump in when I'm not around. Alexander Jonathan Leahy is also good. Knows a thing or two about powerlifting. 

5. Don't ask how much you're supposed to eat on training and rest days respectively. We're not here to do math for you. (BW in kg) x 30 is a good starting point for maintenance. 

6. Before asking, please make sure you read Patrick Tucker's LG FAQ. Updated every Friday (weekend in this week's case).

7. Check out Elliott Myers's Google Sheets Log for the RPT diet routine AND Patreon RPT Routine.

8. Check out Zach Moore's LG Patreon Table of Contents

9. Don't ask for "thoughts." Be specific. I have lots of thoughts on countless subjects, but no time to share them all. It's your responsibility to specify which one you're after.   

10. One question per thread. Alternatively, a few questions if they're related to the former. Don't ask 5 questions about 5 different topics.

No more question here - use the new thread instead. (Up in a min)

It should be obvious given my lifting technique that there is no perfect form, because it's all relative to build and flexibility/ability. By flexibility/ability I mean, for example, if you are capable of bending your upper back the way I do. Prominent deadlifters like Konstantinovs also use this technique. Worth noting that amateurs perceive this as bad form since they fail to distinguish between upper and lower back. For ME this^technique is perfect. I've never been injured by the deadlift and I rarely tweak muscles while deadlifting.

What exactly is perfect form on deadlifts according to you martin? Please share some pointers for us. / fellow long armed, long legs, short torso comrade.
