What it concludes

• Wear flat shoes like Chuck Taylors, wrestling shoes, or Vans for deadlifting instead of running shoes.
• Keep your feet placement similar to a vertical jump.
• Position your feet so the bar is at the halfway point of your foot from toes to heel.
• Place your hands outside of your legs, or wider if you have wide shoulders relative to your deadlift stance.
• Position your hips so your scapula is directly over the barbell.
• Keep your head in a neutral position looking slightly down to avoid improper hip movement.
