Deadlift Form

Take a look at the following video.
I will give you a hint and let you know that his form is pretty bad, but I have seen similar form in several of our classes. If this young man were in your lifting group, how would you help him? Remember when making corrections people can only fix one thing at a time so I want you to prioritize. What are the top three things this athlete needs to do to fix his deadlift form?

For this weeks blog. I want you to list the top three things this young man can do to work on correcting his deadlift form.

    1. He needs to work on bending down to pick up the bar, so the workout is done properly.
    2. He needs to keep his back flat when he goes down and then up.
    3. He needs to use his legs and hips, not just his arms and back.

  30. the things that are going wrong is that his back is completly rounded when he bends down, and i do not know how to fix it because if i did i probably wouldn't curve my back either, also he doesn't bend his knees, and well it is pretty hard to do an exercise for that all he has to do is BEND HIS KNEES
    he also goes to fast and doesnt take the time to do it right

    2) The bar doesnt seem to be in line the whole time, so I would make sure he drags the bar up his legs.
    3) I would also encourage him to keep his chest up so he get the full range of motion at the top.
