Deadlift is harder when I use my legs more

I’m 6’6 18 M with very long legs and relatively short torso, I feel like whenever I bend my legs more the deadlift just gets harder, while when I essentially just do a rdl with a bit more leg drive I can get the weight up easily. Is this most likely a form/leg strength issue or am I really better off just doing a deadlift without much leg drive and more of a rdl movement.

First time pulling from the floor since march

My last 3 competitions have had raised pulls so all I’ve done is high block pulls, silver dollar and RDLs for the last 4 months. First time back pulling from the floor this week after hitting 410kg silver dollar on Sunday. Here’s my top set, 280kg/617lbs for 5

635lbs at 180lbs, All Time PR

This is after training only Sumo deadlift for 6 months. Had to abandon it due to a strain on the inner quad. Guess there was still some good crossover benefits

How to get back at it after injury

Had a couple pops in my back 3 weeks ago and I’m currently trying to build back up to my previous working weight. It just feels unnerving now that I’m up to 75% for doubles (405). I can feel the spot but it’s not painful I just keep thinking about it popping again

For those who’ve had the same injury how’d you get all the way back and how long did it take? I’m 3 weeks out from a PL meet as well

Deadlift form update

Hi guys, how does this form look? Am I raising my hips too early still?

DL 525lbs x1 at 185lbs and 51yo

DL 525lbs x1…I might have gone over the top on the post lift celebration, but this was a true 1RM for the day (all time PR is 545lbs).
This one means a lot, though not a PR. Two weeks ago I pulled 470lbs for a couple singles that felt terrible. Since then I worked two weeks in humid South Carolina on two major preventive maintenance jobs without any real weight training due to long physical days (even the weekend) and lack of facilities. This was a GRINDER! I knew I wanted “Panic Attack” by Judas Priest to be my song for this one after thinking back to how nuts I went when they opened their concert with this one in Evansville, Indiana; I needed it after getting home at midnight last night and awaking at 06:30 this morning.
Following that I did three sets of NG Pull-ups with 45lbs on me; my first set was 10 reps…the next two sets were for 6 reps.
I also did Sumo DL backoff sets at 405lbs for 2 reps then 3 reps. Anyone who talks crap about Sumo just don’t understand the technical aspects of the lift.

My deadlift record.

Do these count as well?

Here’s a video of my SLDL’s. 175kg for 4. This was my last set.

I’ve been doing these a while now to lengthen my hamstrings. Doing these has resolved my lower back pain.

335 lb deadlift PR

I dont know if it counts as its a little off centered. A 365 lb was attempted and barely lifted the floor. 365 is the goal.
