3 TIPS FOR A SAFER DEADLIFT

I've found myself teaching those instructions to patients often enough that I decided to make a quick video about it so I can refer patients to view them again after the appointment. While I have not spent as much time as Dr. Steve in a traditional gym setting, I've done enough deadlifts in my own exercise time to know how quickly they can go wrong, especially if you happen to be recovering from a recent lumbar strain or any other lumbar injury. The main goal of the debt lift modification is to keep a stable flatback in maximum descent and muscular contraction. The 3 modifications, namely wide stance, slightly flexed knees, and firing up the good muscles ahead of time, facilitate maintaining a safe lumbar posture
