Here you go, Chris, this is what I mean by retracting the shoulders when deadlifting for better support. Skip to 6:20 or so. I feel the burn on most of my upper back including the rear delts when I do this and it feels safer. Glad to know I was already doing it right.

These videos seem to be great for that. It's never been an issue for me.

I just watched this video last night! Jeff is great. He did a video a couple of days ago on releasing tightness (cracking) in your upper back with a foam roller and heavy medicine ball. I have an extremely tight upper back and tried his technique before doing over head presses and it really helped open everything up for the movement. I owe much of my success to Jeff.

@chris, he did a video on what your talking about too. He was helping the guy that works with him fix his "rounding shoulders". Scroll through his videos on YouTube, I'm sure you'll find it with at least 50 others you will want to watch.

I've always retracted my shoulders when deadlifting. If you're letting the weight hang from your shoulders without any pull back you're not in control of that weight. Maxing out on deadlifts or squats doesn't interest me as much as it did in my 20s, due to the potential for an injury. The guy in the video, articulately explained how easy it is to tweak or strain nerves and muscles from incorrect form. Great share Diablo!

Thanks, Jgreen. Yeah, I don't go too heavy on deads anymore. I don't plan to do any competitions. I only do them for the muscle building.

I just watched that rounding video a few weeks ago. My posture sucks. :(
