This puts your shoulder blades above the mid-foot and bar, which prevent your knees from knocking the bar on your way up. Remember not to squeeze your shoulder blades; contract your lats instead \u2013 pretend you are squeezing oranges under your armpits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>ARMS<\/h2>\n<p>Must be shoulder-width, vertical to the floor when looking from the front and inclined when looking from the side. Keep arms straight, and never pull with bent arms or you might risk injury to the biceps and elbows. Use a low-hand grip by holding the bar closer to your fingers, not in the middle of your palm, to reduce pain in the hands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>SHINS<\/h2>\n<p>The bar must stay in contact with your legs when you lift, to protect your lower back. The bar should start against your shins during the set-up, and then almost be rolling over the shins and thighs to the top. Wear long socks to protect the shins<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>NECK<\/h2>\n<p>Deadlift with your neck neutral. Do not look up or at your feet. Look at a point on the floor in front of you instead, so that you\u2019ll have a straight line from the top of your head to your hips throughout the movement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>BACK<\/h2>\n<p>No overarching or bending to prevent injury. If you tend to over-arch, contract your abs to maintain a neutral spine. Remember: Your back doesn\u2019t lift the weight; it just keeps your spine neutral while your legs do the work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>HIPS<\/h2>\n<p>Set up with the bar over your mid-foot, arms straight with a low-hand grip, knees bent until your shins touch the bar. Raise your chest in this position and your hips will be exactly where they should be. When doing the move, raise your hips and chest at the same time by pushing your feet through the floor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>FEET<\/h2>\n<p>Must be hip-width apart. Set up with the bar over the middle of your feet for better balance when you pull the weight up. Keep toes pointing about 15 degrees out. This makes it easier to push your knees out, which helps in engaging your groin muscles to deadlift more weight.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1545&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>TRAIN AT FITNESS WORKZ GYMS<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Perfect your deadlift and train with personal instructors who can work with you to achieve your training goals.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">For more information, email us at: fitness_workz@HomeTeamNS.sg or give us a ring at:\u00a06705-9473.<\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Other articles that you might like:<\/span><\/h4>\n<h5><u><a href=\"https:\/\/corpstaging.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/work-that-body\/\">Add hip hop moves to pump up your exercise routine<\/a><\/u><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some highly sought after tips to execute the best all-over muscle-building move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":2006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shape-up"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tips to Execute the Perfect Deadlift - Frontline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We have top tips to help you achieve the best form for that perfect deadlift.
