Stronger in 60 Seconds: Prevent your lower back from rounding in the deadlift

Setting and maintaining a flat back position during the deadlift can be a challenge.

Here’s a simple cue on how to prevent your lower back from rounding.

Cues to Remember:

  • Keep your arms straight and get the bar in tight like you’re trying to bend it over your legs.
  • Pull your chest up like you’re trying to show someone in front of you the logo on your shirt. 
  • Leg press the floor away. Heels through the ground to push the floor away from you as fast as possible.
