There was a ton of differences from lifter-to-lifter, but I noticed three very important things they all had in common.

Quick tip on how to maintain a flat back and prevent it from rounding in the #deadlift. -Keep your arms straight and try to bend the bar over your knee caps. -Pull your chest up so someone in front of you can see the logo on your shirt. -The tension may cause the bar to “float” off the floor. -Heels through the ground to push the floor away from you as fast as possible. #powerlift #deadlifts #fitness #technique
