“The deadlift keeps company with standing, running, jumping, and throwing for functionality but imparts quick and prominent athletic advantage like no other exercise.”
Consider each of the following cues to a sound deadlift. Many motivate identical behaviors, yet each of us responds differently to different cues.
Natural stance with feet under hips
Symmetrical grip whether parallel, hook, or alternate
Hands placed where arms won’t interfere with legs while pulling from the ground
Bar above juncture of little toe and foot
Shoulders slightly forward of bar
Inside of elbows facing one another
Chest up and inflated
Abs tight
Arms locked and not pulling
Shoulders pinned back and down
Lats and triceps contracted and pressing against one another
Keep your weight on your heels
Bar stays close to legs and essentially travels straight up and down
Torso’s angle of inclination remains constant while bar is below the knee
Head straight ahead
Shoulders and hips rise at same rate when bar is below the knee
Arms remain perpendicular to ground until lockout
