Advanced: barbell or dumbbell
Beginner: dumbbell or modification 

Form tips: 
• feet hip width apart, toes pointed forward 
• knees in-line with toes through the entire movement 
• heels planted and toes gripping the ground 
• barbell: weight should begin right over shoe laces or an inch or two away from shins. Holding the weight right outside of legs (forearms and knees should be touching) 
• dumbbell or modification: weight should begin right between toes. Holding weight right between legs (elbows and knees touching) 
• lock into place before lifting: hips down and back, neutral spine, shoulders back, and abs locked in *check these points before every rep 
• drive through your heels, keeping your toes planted until you are standing straight up 
• as you lower, slightly drive hips back and down until you are in the same position you started in
• the weight should always move in a straight line up and down keeping it close to your body the entire time 

❌ don’t round your back when lifting 
❌ don’t tilt your pelvis forward into a butt squeeze at the top 
❌ don’t think about using your upper body to lift the weight 
❌ don’t let the weight swing/move away from your shins/feet as you lower 

✅ do think about pushing the ground away from you as you lift up 
✅ do move with control and lower slowly to protect your body and focus on mind to muscle connection 
✅ do keep everything from your hips up locked in place (shoulders back, neutral spine, abs locked in)

Deadlift

Reps are to be completed on each side before going to the next set 

Advanced: barbell or dumbbell
Intermediate: dumbbell or bodyweight
Beginner: bodyweight or modification 

Form Tips: 
• Toes and knees pointing forward
• Good posture, neutral spine, and lock in everything from your hips up 
• Focus on driving through the leg that is forward 
• Keep your front foot planted, driving through your heel and gripping the floor with your toes for balance 

❌ don’t let your knee cave in or fall out 
❌ don’t use your back leg to drive up

Form tips: 
• shoulder blades on bench/box
• chin tucked 
• feet hip width apart with toes pointed forward, heels planted and toes gripping the ground 
• feet should be right below knees at the top of the thrust (if they are too far forward you’ll feel it more in your hamstrings, if they are too far back you will feel it more in your quads & knees)
• keep knees in line with toes as you drive up and lower 
• abs locked in and ribs locked down to protect your spine 
• squeeze your glutes at the top and lower with control 

❌ don’t arch your back at the top 
❌ don’t let your knees cave in 

✅ do go through the full range of motion (using a weight you can do so with)

***squeeze your glutes at the top and only lower halfway, then drive back up.
