Proper Deadlift Setup (How to Nail it EVERY TIME)

ll show you how to determine the proper hip and knee contribution you should be using when you perform the deadlifts. Proper deadlift form starts with setting up to the bar the right way. You need to align the bar over your laces. Many people make the mistake of keeping the bar too far away from them which causes them to have to reach for the bar and unnecessarily round their lower back. As a physical therapist, I-ve said many times, loaded flexion of the lumbar spine can quickly lead to disc issues if your back isn-t properly stabilized. Keeping the bar tight to the shins is a necessity. The proper ratio of hip to knee bend is also very crucial to the proper execution and form on the deadlift. The easiest way to determine this is to approach the bar and hang your arms in front of your body. Without bending the knees, allow your hips to drop back as if descending into a romanian deadlift. When the hands reach the level of the knees, then stop dropping the hips any further and just release the knees and allow them to bend. You should be able to do this until your hands reach the bar. You are now perfectly setup to perform the deadlift with the proper balance of hip hinge and knee bend. To lift the bar, simply reverse the move. Push hard through your feet and keep the hips high as you raise the bar off the floor. Once the hands reach the level of the knees, drive your hips forward and through to power the bar until you are standing fully erect. If you are just learning how to deadlift or how to execute proper form on deadlifts you will want to start with a very light weight. Progressively add more and more weight to the bar without sacrificing your setup form or lifting form at all. If you want to start adding this powerful total body exercise to your muscle building repertoire, then you will want to start training like an athlete. Head to and use the same program today-s top professional athletes are using to build bigger, faster, stronger muscles and become dominant in their sports

Question - If i perform deadlift, what am i supposed to feel---legs or lower back? I feel lower back than my legs. When i am done, i don't feel shit on my legs and i feel that i haven't done shit so i work other leg exercises. I do squats on Tuesdays and Deadlift on Fridays but i don't do squats on Fridays that's why i compensate it with the deadlift. Please help, i have so many people telling me different things.

Winner of a video, I've been looking for -increase your deadlift program- for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Yenabriel Deadlift Smasher - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.

Hey Jeff, I had a lower back surgery a year and a half ago ( L5-S1 fusion), and was wondering if I should do deadlift at this stage. Of course I would not go heavy, but to build strength back up in my lower body as well as the back.
I would appreciate your advice on this one

Most of the people in the gym I had seen yet while performing deadlifts they don't let the weight on grounds while doing multiple repetition they just come closer to ground then lift again
I want to know is it right or wrong pls reply pls reply

Deadlifting is a powerlifting move, it's about moving the bar loaded with weight, it has nothing to do with bodybuilding, bodybuilding is targeting a muscles for stimulation. Combining bodybuilding with weight lifting is a bad idea!

Thank you very much for the instructions. There are so many different opinions on how many times per week a person should deadlift on their regular workout. Some say once. Others say twice or even three times. Who's right?

Rightly explained. It's a compound exercise so requires effort from quads, hamstrings, glutes, lower back. So much so it brings forearms and calves into action. The best exercise to raise your test levels naturally.

Thank you so much for making this video. I honestly didn't know how to dead lift properly until I watched this. Every time I deadlifted I was straining my lower back. So thank you so much for explaining this.
