TOP 11 DEADLIFT TRAINING TIPS

1. Always clear an area of at least 4 by 8 feet of loose plates and other items.
2. Don't let the hips kick up before the shoulders start to move; they should come up together.
3. Keep the shoulders in front of the barbell throughout the lift.
4. Keep the arms completely straight throughout the lift.
5. Keep the pull smooth and consistent.
6. Lower the bar with a flat back.
7. Don't bounce the bar off the ground at the end of the lift.
8. Always deadlift with collars on the bar to ensure a balanced bar.
9. Rely on the strong trunk muscles instead of a lifting belt.
10. Make sure that you follow strict form when lifting to failure, because impaired mechanics may increase the risk for injury.
11. Do not perform forced reps or negative-only reps.
