👉🏻 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐬: Choose an appropriate weight & start with a weight that allows you to perform 8-12 repetitions with proper form. Gradually increase the weight as you progress.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬

𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐔𝐩:

-Stand with your feet hip-width apart, with the barbell over the middle of your feet.
-The bar should be close to your shins, almost touching them.-
-Use an overhand hold (both palms facing you) or a mixed hold (one palm facing you, one facing away) on the bar, just outside your knees.

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠:

-Bend at your hips and knees to lower your body.
-Keep your back flat, chest up, and your gaze forward. Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
-Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine.

𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐭):

-Push through your heels and straighten your hips and knees simultaneously.
-Keep the barbell close to your body as you stand up. Focus on using your legs and hips to lift the weight, not your back.
-Keep your shoulders pulled back and your chest proud as you stand fully upright.
-Hips should be fully extended, and your body should form a straight line from head to heels.

𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫:

-To lower the bar, push your hips back while maintaining a flat back.
-Bend your knees when the bar passes them, and gently place the barbell back on the ground.

𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬:

✔️ Warm-Up: Before lifting heavy weights, warm up with light cardio or dynamic stretches to prepare your muscles.
✔️ Maintain Neutral Spine: Keep your back flat and avoid rounding or arching your lower back during the lift.
✔️ Engage Your Core: A tight core provides stability and protects your lower back.
✔️ Barbell Placement: The barbell should be close to your shins throughout the lift to minimize stress on your lower back.
✔️ Lift with Legs and Hips: Focus on using your leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes) and hips to lift the weight while keeping your back straight.
✔️ Breathe Properly: Exhale as you lift the weight (the concentric phase) and inhale as you lower it (the eccentric phase).
✔️ Footwear: Wear flat-soled shoes or deadlift slippers to maintain stability.
✔️ Start Light: Begin with lighter weights to master the technique before progressively increasing the load.
✔️ Control the Movement: Avoid jerking or bouncing the weight. Use controlled movements throughout the lift and descent.
✔️ Focus on Form Over Weight: Prioritize proper form and technique rather than lifting heavy weights prematurely.
