    I have to agree with KEN ROSE on this one–I have found this to be the case not only with myself but with countless others I have observed. Driving is the worst! Take care to place the heel correctly and it will help out a bit, but of course further work outlined by others will be needed as well.

    I can’t speak for anyone else, but I have found I am able to do maybe 2-3 with out resetting. A big part of this is the breathing technique–which must be focused on if you are going to reset every few reps. That being said, as the weight gets heavier and I find myself doing sets of 2 or 3– I reset between every rep. What works for you? I can tell when I really nail the form in the dead lift and when I am only 80-90% perfect. Resetting helps keep your form as perfect as possible.

    I have struggled with this for a long time as a former asymmetrical throwing athlete. Kait’s on point about the push-up diagnostics, and the use of a slingshot. I made my a loop with a weak theraband to encourage proprioception in that region during the push-up and it has helped a lot. One thing that has helped me is inverted rows concentrating on internal rotation and a pause at the top of the maneuver. Feels unnecessary to the uninitiated but after a set take a look at your resting scapula posture. I found it really flattens the blades to the rib age and encourages the coveted posterior tilt as well. All that being said–one night of sleeping weird on my side will have me revert back

    Looks like you may be missing some end range hip flexion as well. In this video you are slightly flexed in the lumbar at the bottom. I deal with the same problem and it’s smart to start light to get the form back after years away–good luck.
