How to do Conventional Deadlifts
Set up: - Feet should be at a comfortable width (we suggest around hip width) - Barbell should be touching your shins - From a side view, your shoulder blades should be directly over the barbell - Spine should be neutral - Lats should be engaged (pull the bar into yourself/break the bar) Lifting: - Keep the bar in contact with your legs (wearing leggings/high socks will help avoid skin abrasions) - Stand up straight with knees and hips extended to the top position
