There's more to deadlifting than just lifting some weight!

Deadlifts are one of my most favourite exercises, and it is used by many in both a strength and conditioning and rehabilitation setting. However in many instances the exercise is used wrong, and I have seen some very worrying and cringe-worthy deadlifting technique by some coaches/trainers and individuals.

Deadlifts are a closed-chain, multi-joint/compound exercise which means it targets muscles at more than one joint, and it involves a fixed foot position on the floor. It’s a type of exercise that can target everything, not only the hip extensor muscles of the glutes and hamstring muscles, it also works the grip/forearms, upper back, mid back, lower back, lats, and core stabilizers. This is because it’s a pulling movement, and requires multiple muscle groups to pull it off the floor.
