  • @KTMONEY100 well you know how most personal trainers are these days - morons with dipolamas... but i never noticed if my shoulders were after the bar or not i just pull the bar naturally thats it

  • @muzimuzi settle down there lad, i wasn't talking about rounding the shoulders. my shoulders round in my dealift to increase bio-mechanical efficiency, just naturally. Shoulders behind the bar means that the shoulder joint should be behind the bar no matter what, other wise the leverage is worse, and its becomes similar to a straight leg deadlift. Ask Dave Tate or Louie Simmons. They will tell you the same thing. Personal trainer haha

  • Mandi, eh..

  • @KTMONEY100 no thats just a douche personal trainer aditute - shoulders SHOULD be rounded up not backwards to minimize ROM and allow for an easier lift off the ground

  • you forgot the most important part: dont do deadlifts with sport shoes!

  • She might wanna take off some weight.

  • shoulders behind the bar, not in front

  • You don't contract your shoulders (neither did she, honestly) - you "seat" them. Like you need to make sure your shoulders aren't rolling forward, but that's the important part. It's like you have your arms relaxed, but your shoulders are down. Don't overthink it - as long as chest is out you're accomplishing this already

  • 9)contract shoulder blades - please don't. You should be holding the bar tight to your body, that is all. 10) Raise hips and upperbody at the same time - I know what they mean, but this is more confusing than anything, especially to an amateur who's trying to learn the form. "Raise upperbody" is going to make people use their lower back. Just push through with your heels and when the bar comes over your knees, you drive your hips forward to meet the bar.
