Conventional Deadlift: how to do it and form tips

The king of posterior chain exercises. Develops full-body strength, grip, and muscle from floor to lockout.

Form tips

  1. Set up with the bar over your mid-foot, about an inch from your shins.
  2. Engage lats by trying to 'bend the bar' around your legs.
  3. Drive the floor away rather than thinking about pulling the bar up.
