1. Ensure that you are depressing your scapular. This will enable the activation of your Latissimus Dorsi. This muscle’s primary role in a deadlift is to protect your spine.
2. The deadlift is the perfect combination of a push/pull movement, so make sure that you are not squatting too low in the bottom position of the lift.
3. Maintain a vertical shin to enable the bar to travel in one straight line. This will stop your knees from falling forward and pushing the bar away from you.
4. Maintain straight arms to ensure that you are keeping tension throughout your upper body.
5. Push your knees out against your locked elbows to initiate glute and hamstring activation throughout the whole movement.
