Deadlifting with a straight back is cope

[R@m@]

You can pull more with a flexed spine at the bottom and as you lockout you straighten your back

As opposed to keep a neutral spine throught the movement

Do you keep your spine neutral?

In a trap bar deadlift you probably use more quads, its not the same center of gravity and its better to keep a neutral spine(or not)


But when the weight is in front of you(conventional deadlift, zercher squats) its better to let your back round
