Hannibal - Can you explain to me the proper form for deadlifts

Well since this thread is directed at me I will try to respond. The set up for the conventional deadlift isnt that tricky. Take a stance shoulder width apart or better. The bar should be out towards your toes somewhat as you want to pull the bar back towards you. The object is to make the bar travel in as straight a line as possible. Keeping your hips as high as possible and arms straight...reach down to the bar...don't "squat" down. Take an over/under grip, and make sure that your hands are far enough apart to allow you to rotate your hips and chest through. You also want to make sure that your shoulders are behind the bar at all times. Arch your back hard...push your abs out against your belt...and drive with your legs to get the bar started. Don't "snatch" the bar to get it started....that will put you into a poor position and cause you to not be able to handle the weight...or cause an injury.

THE DEADLIFT IS NOT DANGEROUS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Hope this helped......anyways

thanks...but maybe i'll need a private lesson ! hee hee j/k
