Deadlift question, need quick answer plz

Lee · Mar 13, 2003

On deadlifts, i was wondering if u straighten your back first, or your legs? or both at the same time?

Straighten your back?

Are you talking about Romanian Deadlifts or Stright-legged deadlifts, as opposed to a true DEADLIFT?

your back stays arched the whole time

just a plain old deadlift. like do u push up with yer legs first, then pull with your back, or all at the same time?

just make sure you dont let your hips rise up during the movement, keep them down

Hips down, shoulders back, and pull BACK, not UP.

Let the growing begin.
