Today’s video is a simple two-part cue that can be used to establish a solid back position when you’re deadlifting. Nothing is worse than feeling intimidated by a particular lift, especially the deadlift, and getting the wrong feedback in your low back.
These cues and tips work for people new to the deadlift and it’s also helped intermediate lifters dial in their hinge position and “wedging” more effectively before moving heavy weight off the ground.
At ELEVATE, when deadlifts are on the training menu it’s like going to a birthday party – everyone is having fun!
One cue shows how to go from a flexed spinal position, or rounded back, to a more neutral position.
The other is for people who tend to get over-extended in their low back, lack core or trunk stability and often feel tightness in their low back after performing the deadlift.
