How To Deadlift With Perfect Technique (2024)
Ойын-сауық
How to deadlift with perfect technique. Here are my 5 steps:
First: set your stance. Start with your shins about one inch from the barbell and your feet at hip width. For a sumo deadlift, you’ll take a wider stance but I’ll cover that separately. The bar should cross the middle of your foot. Point your toes slightly out.
Second: grab the bar. Set your hips back with nearly straight knees. Don’t make the common mistake of squatting down. A deadlift isn’t a squat. Grip the bar with your hands just outside your shins. An over/under grip, hook grip or strapped grip will keep the bar from slipping. Let your shins make contact with the bar - they should be pointed straight up.
Third: pull the slack out. Instead of ripping the bar, pull tension into the bar gradually.
Fourth: pull. Lift your chest up while thrusting your hips forward. Keep the bar in contact with your legs.
Fifth: lockout. Stand up straight and lift your chest up. Don’t shrug or squeeze your back at the top.
Lower the weight by setting your hips back and letting your knees bend. Keep the bar in tight so it lands back over the middle of your foot.

I do my deadlifts like you, but I remember when I first started deadlifting at the age of 58. I was afraid so I did a lot of research. I looked at ( i guess ) famous coaches for powerlifting. I remember using the legs to get the weight moving from a dead stop was one of the biggest help for me. My core wasn't developed yet. Now 4 years later (age 62) I do more of a rdl style with no belt, i do 400lbs sets of 4. Definitely not an expert, I am just telling you my experience with this lift. I was afraid of it, and now i love it. It just feels so good. 😊 Oh, and on days that I don't feel like being in the gym, the checklist is the most important thing. I think it saves me from injury when my head is not in it while i do my beginning sets and warm-up. ✌️

Wow. This is incredible. I would love a shorts playlist for all major exercises.
Not squatting down is correct depending on your purpose of the exercise. If you want to lift as heavy as possible, then having legs in 45 degree angle can help you use more leg drive and lift heavier
I was reluctant to try this exercise before because I was not well instructed. I am thankful to Jeff for changing this. I am excited to get into dead lifts now.

work with a trainer to get started. risk of injury is high with deadlift, but it's worth it to learn it
A game changer for me was to make sure your knees/legs are touching your arms when pulling up. When doing that everything felt tight and solid.
Wish I saw this 2 days ago… my back and shoulders and dead rn. My gym buddies are apparently all wrong with form, so thanks for sharing lol
“A deadlift is not a squat” Words to live by. Thank you Jeff
keeping the bar against your legs. I was beginning to suspect this, but never actually heard this cue until now. Thanks.
I have no excuse avoiding deadlifting now cuz Jeff’s method was super clear🏆
When he deadlifts it looks so smooth and perfect
Beautifully demonstrated Jeff !! Short and Simple 😄👍
You should do more of these. Great for the youth, and a good reminder too. I don't do that grip anymore after watching someone rip their bicep, though. I do double overhand now.
Deadlift has always been one of my favorite exercises!
A big point for me to get a better Deadlift was to really contract the lat by shifting the shoulder blades back and down plus rotate the shoulder outwards
Bro this video is very professional and perfect thanks for video
One of the best checklists I’ve seen. 👏👏
only thing I dont do is grind the bar against my shins, heavy weight rips the hell out of them, and Im tall enough that I can leave a tiny space so i dont need high socks to do it.
“Don’t bend your knees. This is in a squat“ dude I’m 6 foot three. I’m gonna blow out my back if I don’t do that.
Hey jeff u should make a training vlog.
No mention of the back? I was always told it's super important not to bend.

Bro Jeff "grip it and rip it."
ATHLEAN-X™ | Jeff Cavaliere's tutorial is the one that helped me most.
Dude i might not have the goal the build that much muscle like you...but you are definitely my role model.
The best deadlift advice Ive gotten is to pull the bar as if it were stuck to the ground.
One tip I heard some time ago was that when you go down, imagine you are closing your car door while your hands are busy.
Jeff has the most legit reels/shorts
Love these videos!
"now you have my" 💅 💅 💅
Need to Airplay this on my gym’s TV so I can be sure I’m doing it right 👀
Honourable mention : "Do not move the barbell" IFYKYK.
This is a great tutorial 👌
Few things missing; pulling shoulders back to make sure stress isn't falling too much on lower back, keeping balance across feet to distribute weight properly, inhale and tense core again for back security, keep sight on a point at the bottom of the wall in front of you to keep you focused and head upright. Probably a few more I'm missing. A bit more than 5 steps for a perfect Deadlift anyway.
Nice explanation - spot on
Great video! Sumo checklist, please!
A cue I've been given, which seems to work well, is to screw the shoulders into the bar. That keeps the back tight and takes the slack out of the bar.
You helped me a lot thanks
I would add that you would push down with your legs instead of only pulling with your back
I think proper bracing of the core should be included as well.
Good enough explanation to feel the tension just from watching!
Clear and concise and on point. One of the greatest tutorial clips ever made

I like to pull the slack out before I lower my shins to the bar, but when teaching a beginner its best to teach them to pull the slack out at this videos point because they tend to forget to bring their shins forward :')
Very helpful, thank you sir
Thanks Jeff :)
I need to wear socks like these to keep my shins from getting scraped up
I appreciate that in your example of what not to do you flexed your elbows. I see too many people do that. Deadlifting isn't especially dangerous, but too many people are scared of a torn bicep when it only happens when the lift isn't performed correctly.

Could you give one example of perfect for with a larger RPE? I feel like it would help to see these points still apply with higher intensity
Jeff, i think you already explained it in other video, but i cant seem to find it, on deadlift, how/when you maintain the full stretch? As you always state that its the most important part of the exercise. Should you hold on an specific position? Is it reasonable? Would it increase the danger to arch the back and have bad form? Ps: amazing videos, i apply most of your sugestions while training
I needed this
Bro Jeff is just as jacked as normal Jeff. Guess I’ll have to start my bro split soon 😎
I do shrugs at top to destroy traps for massage.
Thank you so much!
I did that shoulder shrug thing before and the next days my traps felt like they were gonna fall off. Tried implementing that more for some trap work but my shoulder joint really didn’t appreciate that lol still getting pretty juicy traps doing stuff the right way
🔥🔥🔥thanks man this is a great video! Do you have a vid or some recommendations for a beginner or pre exercises for someone starting with deadlifts. I have been trai now for 3 months but I am still not feeling ready for the movement and I have had in the past lower back issues for longer sitting or bad exercising... Now I have been great but I dunno how to start
I have never had a bad deadlift.never used straps either. My best is 675lbs at 155lb bw. I push away from the ground,while lifting it.
The only thing going on in my head when I set up for a deadlift is Alan Thrall's voice going DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL
Way easier in this video than when I do it 😭

Oh yes, please do this for sumo deadlift, too🙏🙏
Bro really said "fuck the bar"
I agree with everything he explained except on occasion. I do like to squat down if I'm going super crazy heavy. Especially if a little fatigued, it's, it's not going to hurt anything to get a little more push from the legs on a big lift. Just my opinion and trust me. The benefits have paid off over the years.
Do actually shrug at top, mega traps same time 🔥
you forgot the extending your arms as far as possible, bracing & locking down your entire torso and engaging your lats
Thank you.
Also just be careful with the mixed grip, a lotta people got injured during that.
Angle of the feet can vary for each individual, depends if one has anteverted, retroverted or regular femur attachments on the hips (this also affects stance width for conventional). You also missed this in your Technique Tuesday video for the deadlift. You need to address this mate.
FINALLY someone who does it right!

The most important question is drive your feet into the ground when lifting
I must be the only one who's been trying deadlifts for 10 plus years and still don't feel like I can build a foundation out of it
Maybe do OHP/military press next
