Deadlift
Muscles: Back, Glutes, Hamstrings, Quads, Forearms
Form tips
- Bar over the middle of the foot, shoulders just in front of the bar
- Take a big breath, brace the core and keep the lats tight
- Push the floor away, keeping the bar against the legs
- Lock out with the glutes, not by leaning back
Common mistakes
- Rounding the back as the bar leaves the floor
- Jerking the bar off the floor instead of pulling the slack out
- Hips shooting up before the bar moves
