Form Check - Does this Look Like a SLDL or Regular Deadlift

I’ve been told before that what I had thought was a deadlift was really a stiff-legged deadlift. I’ve attempted to modify my form and wanted to see if this looked like a regular deadlift.

For reference, I am 5’10", 176 lbs, and my proportions are generally long-limbed.

You’re fine, you just have long legs. You may find sumo to be a little more beneficial to your proportions, but this would still qualify as a regular deadlift IMO.

Looks like a regular deadlift to me. Good form too! Personally, I’m not a fan of sumo. I think you’re on the right track. Good luck friend.

You have got to be kidding. Plenty good deadlift form!

Just point to the fact that your knees are bent and thus your legs are not straight.
