What our recorded sets showed

Postural alignment was the limiting category in 67.1% of 1,339 deadlift analyses from 440 users.

In this sample, lumbar rounding was detected in 15.1% of deadlift analyses and hips rising ahead of the bar in 20.4%. These were associations within the dataset.

What to review in your deadlift

Gymscore gives an overall 0–100 score and feedback in 5 categories: postural alignment, foot placement, range of motion, overall movement quality, bracing.

  • Back position from setup to lockout
  • Whether the hips rise ahead of the bar
  • Bar movement and control through the pull

Recording angle

Film a full-body side view so you can compare your back position and the timing of your hips and the bar during the pull.

Keep the camera steady and review the entire set. A video score is feedback on that recording; it does not replace a coach’s in-person assessment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most common weak category in the deadlift sample?

Postural alignment was the limiting category in 67.1% of the deadlift analyses in Gymscore’s 10,000-analysis study.

How should I record a deadlift for review?

Keep your full body and the bar in frame. A side view makes it easier to review your back position and hip timing.
