What it concludes

• The ideal deadlift stance width allows for the most vertical grip and leverage off the floor without elbow and knee interference.
• A wider grip and narrower stance limit knee flare and require adjustments based on individual body proportions.
• To find your correct deadlift stance width, start with a snatch-grip deadlift and gradually find the narrowest comfortable stance that matches your elbow and knee alignment.
