Notes

I am one of those people who function better by writing things down. One day, I realized that most of my notes don’t have to be private, so here they are - my second brain. Be warned that, if you stumble upon something here that doesn’t make sense to you, it isn’t meant to!

Deadlift form

Deadlift Step 1: Shin should be 1 inch away from bar. (So, middle of foot directly under bar. This is important.) Point toes out a little, not too much. (This will allow the knees to go out into the elbows later.) Barbell doesn’t go forward at all from this point on. Step 2 - grip: (Don’t use alternate grip because that creates asymmetry.) Leave ass up. You’ll want to roll the barbell but DON’T do that. Leave knees tight (i.e. wherever they are). Step 3: Bend knees until shin touches the bar. Hips don’t move after this position. (Hips higher than what you want.) Don’t drop the butt. Push knees a little into the elbow. Lift chest and drop belly between the knees. Step 4 - going up: Drag bar along the shins. Lift the chest up at the end. That’s the finish. Think of pushing the feet into the floor.
