Thread: Deadlift hip drop?

Why is it that I see guys drop their hips a moment before a heavy pull? For me that takes the load entirely off my hamstrings and makes me want to squat. I just try to hinge back as far as I can, slightly upward, and my hips still tend to shoot up by a couple of inches before the first pull of the set. By the time I’m back down on the floor, I’m in my optimal position and don’t have to reset as long as I hinge back far enough.

Is it an anatomy thing? I don’t know my proportions really.
