Description: Deadlift Tutorial

Once you’ve set your feet, tuck your hips and squeeze your glutes. Pin the shoulder blades back and rotate the shoulders outward until you feel your lats tighten. Practice flexing into position for 10 reps.

Hip & Shoulder Position

This may be one of the most important techniques to master if you want to lift heavy weight without having a bad back by 30. To practice this effectively, make sure you can feel your entire waist line expanding, including the back and sides. This can be a challenge at first, so make sure to take some time and practice.

Core and Bracing

Establish your footing and keep your entire foot planted to the ground. Imagine corkscrewing you’re feet outward to create torque tension up the legs and into the glutes. This will help you squeeze your glutes shut. Practice lockouts for 10 reps.

Wedging the Hips

Perform 10 full range of motion reps for the sumo stance and the conventional. Both versions have a different emphasis on the muscles. The conventional deadlift will focus more on the hamstrings and backside of the butt. The sumo stance will force you to use more inner thigh, quads and side booty. It is definitely worth practicing both for their different demands and benefits.
