When performing deadlifts, maintaining correct posture is of the utmost importance.
When you approach the barbell, make sure it is not placed too far. If you start too far with your barbell, you risk compromising your stretch. That said, stand with your feet under the bar and about an inch away from your shins.
Step two involves hinged at the hips to bend over and grasp the barbell. Do not bend your knees at all or push them forward. Place your hands on the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and with an overhand grip.
Now that you’ve grabbed the barbell and are ready to lift it, you can now bend your knees forward and lower your hips until your shins touch the bar.
Now you will find that your back is slightly arched, so you need to straighten it to make sure that your entire body has the strength and stability to pull the bar up. Make sure that your neck is also in a straight position.
Finally, you are ready to lift. Push up and see that the barbell is touching your feet throughout the duration of the lift. When you’re at the top of the lift, push your hips forward toward the barbell and squeeze your glutes and chest muscles.
Slowly grab and lower the barbell in the same reverse motion.
