The dead lift is one of my favorite lifts. As someone who enjoys the lift here are some tips that helped me.
1. Hip mobility is key. I don't know about you but I've never really been flexible until a few months ago. I stretch once a day to work on hip mobility. Opening up the hips helps you keep your butt down, chest up, and heels planted.
2. When you lift instead of just lifting the weight, think about trying to push your hips toward the bar. I'm not sure if you understand that as it's kinda hard to explain without showing you.
3. Keep the bar as close to your shins as possible. If the bar is too far away from your shins you will always have bad form and a curved back. Some power lifters will walk out of the gym with bloody shin form keeping it that close.
4. Once again Butt down, chest up, heels planted.
I'm no gym guru but this is advice that has been given to me and helped me out greatly. Good luck.
