Lifting: More on Deadlifting
Somebody asked a great question looking for more information on deadlift technique similar to the clip I linked in my post on squatting.
Crossfit maintains an extensive and informative archive of clips that can help you get off on the right foot. Below are a handful of links I’ve culled from there:
Arm Position. This was a large bit of what I linked in my prior post on deadlifting.
Still unconvinced on the lift, generally? Listen to Coach Glassman talk and tell me you don’t think it’s a good thing.
Money Money Money Clip. For lifting generally as well as deadlifting. Note the differences in body types’ starting angles and correlate with your own body type. Note the cues that Rippetoe gives the lifters, and use them to cue yourself or (I’d recommend) your training partner, and vice-versa.
You can’t go wrong exploring the archives there. Especially if you’re looking to coach others, there’s a bit more theoretical dicussion, too.
Get lifting.
