Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Post loads to comments.

————————–

The deadlift is performed with the bar on the platform or floor. The lifter assumes a position facing the bar, with the bar parallel to the lifter’s frontal plane. The bar is gripped with both hands, and pulled with one continuous uninterrupted movement until the lifter is standing erect with knees and hips fully extended, the chest up and shoulders back. Once this position is attained and the bar is motionless, the bar is lowered under control with both hands back to the ground. The bar may not be dropped.

Any halt in the upward motion of the bar constitutes a missed attempt, as does failure to assume a fully erect position with both knees and hips extended. Any attempt to raise the bar counts as an attempt.

There are exactly 3 criteria for a correct starting position for the deadlift:
1) The back must be locked in extension.
2) The bar must be touching the shins, with the feet flat on the floor.
3) The shoulders must be out in front of the bar so that the shoulder blades are directly above the bar.

At lockout, the shoulders are back, the knees and hips are extended, the spine is in normal anatomical position with chest up, face straight forward, lower back locked, and everything stable.
