Deadlift form matters more than you think if you want to build strength without straining your lower back. In this video, we break down the deadlift technique adjustments that eliminate back pain with deadlifts while maximizing glute activation on every rep. If you've been dealing with back pain during or after deadlifts, this deadlift fix will change how you train for good.
We cover the most common form breakdowns that cause lower back pain, show you how to properly brace and hinge, and walk through simple cues to shift tension out of your spine and into your glutes where it belongs. Whether you're learning how to deadlift for the first time or refining your proper deadlift form, these adjustments apply to conventional and Romanian deadlift variations alike.
In this video:
- Why most back pain with deadlifts comes from a technique error, not weakness
- Step-by-step breakdown of proper deadlift form from setup to lockout
- Cues to increase glute activation and reduce lower back strain
- Common deadlift form mistakes seen in the gym
- A simple deadlift fix you can apply on your very next set
