  • How to deadlift with perfect technique. Here are my 5 steps:
    First: set your stance. Start with your shins about one inch from the barbell and your feet at hip width. For a sumo deadlift, you’ll take a wider stance but I’ll cover that separately. The bar should cross the middle of your foot. Point your toes slightly out.
    Second: grab the bar. Set your hips back with nearly straight knees. Don’t make the common mistake of squatting down. A deadlift isn’t a squat. Grip the bar with your hands just outside your shins. An over/under grip, hook grip or strapped grip will keep the bar from slipping. Let your shins make contact with the bar - they should be pointed straight up.
    Third: pull the slack out. Instead of ripping the bar, pull tension into the bar gradually.
    Fourth: pull. Lift your chest up while thrusting your hips forward. Keep the bar in contact with your legs.
    Fifth: lockout. Stand up straight and lift your chest up. Don’t shrug or squeeze your back at the top.
    Lower the weight by setting your hips back and letting your knees bend. Keep the bar in tight so it lands back over the middle of your foot.

    I do my deadlifts like you, but I remember when I first started deadlifting at the age of 58. I was afraid so I did a lot of research. I looked at ( i guess ) famous coaches for powerlifting. I remember using the legs to get the weight moving from a dead stop was one of the biggest help for me. My core wasn't developed yet.
    Now 4 years later (age 62) I do more of a rdl style with no belt, i do 400lbs sets of 4.
    Definitely not an expert, I am just telling you my experience with this lift. I was afraid of it, and now i love it. It just feels so good. 😊
    Oh, and on days that I don't feel like being in the gym, the checklist is the most important thing. I think it saves me from injury when my head is not in it while i do my beginning sets and warm-up. ✌️

    Few things missing; pulling shoulders back to make sure stress isn't falling too much on lower back, keeping balance across feet to distribute weight properly, inhale and tense core again for back security, keep sight on a point at the bottom of the wall in front of you to keep you focused and head upright.
    Probably a few more I'm missing. A bit more than 5 steps for a perfect Deadlift anyway.
