Try to really get the feeling that you're sticking your arse out and pushing your belly down to towards the floor. This will help.

Did that this morning, problem solved. :)

Nope, I'm slowly upping them.

60KG squat.
80KG deadlift.

Maybe that then.

Could be a weak core? Do you do heavy squats/deads?

The thing is, if I drop the weight down, its just too easy for me to lift.

There also seems some variation on how bent over you need to be.

Build up the weight with good form. The position of BB Rows puts more stress on the back, so if you dont keep strict then its likely you'll get hurt.

Your ability to keep your back straight will probably improve as your Deadlift does (as again, back stays straight).

I had the same problem today, went up to 40kg and the first few sets were ok but towards the end I could feel my form slipping.

Maybe drop 5kg and see if you can maintain good form?

Really ? Sh*t, it just won't stay straight.

Asking for trouble.

Cheers, I stand up straight, then slowly bend over as described ;)

but the lower part of my back doesnt stay straight, almost like its natural to curve, it was worrying me as I'm starting to go heavier.

So I'd say curving out mate.

Henching forwards or curving out? I would say curving up a bit is natural when you keep the chin up and bent at the waist. But henching at the top of back is injury waiting to happen.

I do BB rows standing, legs shoulder width, slight knee bend and bent over at hips ;)

My lower back does slightly curve when I do this, I'm finding it hard to keep my back straight at the current lift of 50 KG.

Is this an injury waiting to happen ? I feel no pain doing it.

Cheers.
