People often tell me that anyone can deadlift, however I've seen enough crappy form and injuries to wonder how true that statement is!!

 

Remember these things when deadlifting:

* Stand with the bar above the centre of your feet.

* Shoulder blades directly over the bar.

* Bend through your knees until your shins hit the bar.

* Pull- keep the bar close to your body, roll it over your knees and thighs until your hips and knees are locked.

* Keep your back STRAIGHT. Do not round your back.
