Practicing proper form and technique on the deadlift is imperative to staying healthy while building a solid strength base that carries over to so many other movement in and out of the gym!

Coaching tips & cues:
1. Set feet hip distance apart
2. Pull shoulders down and back
3. Hinge at the waist with hands at sides
4. Trace thumb down the side of the body to the bar
5. Set hands about thumb distance out from the side of the body
6. Weight in the heels
7. Drive through the heels leading up with the chest
8. The knees should move back and out of the way of the bar creating a straight bar path for the bar to travel
9. Use the lats to keep the bar in close to the body
10. Think about pushing with the legs to stand rather than pulling
11. Maintain a tight core and glutes at the top
12. On the eccentric portion - hinge at the waist first only allowing the knees to bend once the bar reaches the kneecap
