How To Deadlift With Perfect Technique (Step By Step)

How to deadlift with perfect technique. Here are my 5 steps:

First: set your stance. Start with your shins about one inch from the barbell and your feet at hip width. For a sumo deadlift, you’ll take a wider stance but I’ll cover that separately. The bar should cross the middle of your foot. Point your toes slightly out.

Second: grab the bar. Set your hips back with nearly straight knees. Don’t make the common mistake of squatting down. A deadlift isn’t a squat. Grip the bar with your hands just outside your shins. An over/under grip, hook grip or strapped grip will keep the bar from slipping. Let your shins make contact with the bar – they should be pointed straight up.

Third: pull the slack out. Instead of ripping the bar, pull tension into the bar gradually.

Fourth: pull. Lift your chest up while thrusting your hips forward. Keep the bar in contact with your legs.

Fifth: lockout. Stand up straight and lift your chest up. Don’t shrug or squeeze your back at the top.

Lower the weight by setting your hips back and letting your knees bend. Keep the bar in tight so it lands back over the middle of your foot.

Not squatting down is correct depending on your purpose of the exercise. If you want to lift as heavy as possible, then having legs in 45 degree angle can help you use more leg drive and lift heavier

My favourite exercise. At 58 years old, still no lower back pain.

Just got my 12 y/o son a gym membership and today he set a goal to work up to deadlift 100 lb. I showed him this and looks really helpful! Thank you

Will this help me get that bakery there?

A big point for me to get a better Deadlift was to really contract the lat by shifting the shoulder blades back and down plus rotate the shoulder outwards

Hey jeff u should make a training vlog.

Also make sure your shoulder is directly above the bar. One of the most common injury on the deadlift results from people not doing this and breaking their back

Deadlift has always been one of my favorite exercises!

[Summerbe]

Oh yes, please do this for sumo deadlift, too🙏🙏

[uzieltd]

Do you or does anyone have a suggestion of someone that makes videos covering full workouts. I'm getting back into working out after 12 years I was a bodie builder before I shattered my back so I need suggestions on how to move and adjust in certain ways just how you have it in this video. Last thing I need is to hurt myslef again after so long of not lifting.
