 Hey everybody, let's talk about an overall weak posture in the deadlift. So what does this look like? To kind of let's take my shoes off. I got my indoor shoes now. They're super clean. So I can wear them inside Let's talk about what this looks like. So If I'm coming down, let's say I have this kind of wide stance for a deadlift Maybe I'm teaching a kettlebell deadlift. That's a common Time that I'm seeing this air. Somebody comes down and they're trying to kind of almost Squatted a little bit, which is fine when you're just learning it, right? A hip hinge is a little bit different than a squat But that's okay for now We're just learning how to pick something up from the ground if you're collapsing your feet if you're shifting forward onto your toes If your knees are caving in If your back is arching or your back is rounding, especially if it's rounding Looks like this from the side. This to me is just a weak deadlift posture You're not trying to support yourself with your musculature You're supporting yourself with kind of more like your joints and your ligaments. Okay So what do we do here? Basically, I'm gonna tell you that you've got to you got to be a little Little more oomph about it. You have to have more intent. So if you're setting up like this I'm gonna say I want you to shift back onto your heels and Squeeze that weight. Okay, so as I squeeze my hand really hard all my other Muscles up until my fingers have to turn on as well. And so that's one like Action to fix just the the physiology that's going on it might not fix all of the biomechanics You might still be left with something kind of round and kind of shifted forward in which case if you're round I'm gonna say look up a little bit higher and if you're shifted forward and collapse. I'm gonna say push your knees back Do you feel your heels? Yes or no? If you don't Shift back some more or don't shift back quite as much Just kind of shift around and figure it out find feel explore your body And if your knees don't come out Just try a little bit harder Honestly, that one's easy to fix. So I don't think we need to troubleshoot that anymore So that's if you're deadlifting with a weak posture. That's how I might go about fixing it
