Great intensity, some very good times and everyone’s ego left at the door. Well done class. The deadlift is one of our less complex lifts but has the potential to injure us if we don’t focus on technique as we fatigue. Because of the nature of the lift it’s possible to lift the weight with a rounded back but it’s going to cause us big problems. Please remember this during workouts.
Chest up, lumbar curve, keep the bar against your legs. Send the butt back first on the descent, don’t go soft at the bottom of the lift.
