Foundational Movement
Deadlift
Set-up:
- Stance is with the heels between hip width and shoulder width
- Weight in heels
- Keep the chest up and brace the abdominals to maintain a neutral spine
- Shoulders over or slightly in front of the bar
- Bar in contact with the shins
- Arms straight
- Symmetrical grip outside the knees, just wide enough to not interfere with knees
- Head neutral or looking on the horizon
- Execution:
- Drive through the heels
- Extend legs while hips and shoulders rise at the same rate
- Once the bar passes the knees, the hip opens
- Bar maintains contact with the legs the entire time
- On return to the floor, push hips back while the shoulders move forward, delaying the knee bend
- Once bar descends below the knees and the torso angle is set, bend the knees to return the bar to the set-up position
- Finish:
- The movement finishes with the bar lifted to full extension of the hips and knees
