    You just have to work on it. Lets be honest.... none of us are built for all 3 lifts. At best some of us are built for 2 of the lifts so that means we ALL struggle with a lift. Don't say... I'm going to suck at deads because of blah, blah, blah. Instead say I'm going to kick the shit out of deadlifts and believe it. If you say you can't than you won't. Believe in yourself and you'll be surprised what you can accomplish.

    Another thing that is often overlooked when pulling conventional is how to properly finish a pull. You don't pull back extending your lower back. You shoot your hips forward. I see many people doing this incorrectly and they miss the top of the lift when in fact that shouldn't happen if they have strong hips.

    Thanks SS, working on the hip mobility. Doing tons of research right now. Appreciate your advice too suga!

    That's actually a VERY good video Zed. You should work on those 2 stretched 3x week for 2+ minutes a time and you'll see a difference in your hip mobility.

    Don't forget to work on the rest of your body (upper and lower body).

    Kelly Starrett and Chad Wesley Smith both have good vids of mobility for the upper and lower body.

    OK a question on Good Mornings.
    Do you keep you hips stationary or do you move them horizontally from front to back with your legs slightly bent?

    You move your hips back as the bar descends. You also want to keep a slight bend in your hips. If you kept your hips fixated in one position, you would topple over as you lowered the bar.

    One more thing... If you're not performing GM's you should be. They are great for strengthening the lower back. It's a staple lift of mine and all that I have trained (which includes some big names in Powerlifting).
