What it concludes

• The deadlift is not more dangerous than other forms of physical activity and is not bad for your back.
• There are no pre-requisite strength or mobility requirements needed to perform a deadlift.
• Deadlift hip height is correctly determined when your knees touch the barbell while keeping your shins 1 to 2 inches away from the bar in step 1.
• You do not need to excessively lean back or hyperextend your back at the top of the deadlift.
• You can use mixed grip, hook grip, or lifting straps if grip strength becomes a limiting factor.
