What it concludes

• The deadlift is the easiest movement to teach a new lifter and requires no prerequisite flexibility, posture work, or glute activation.
• The five-step deadlift setup ensures you are in the correct starting position regardless of your body type.
• Pulling the barbell over your toes or heels is a bad idea because it compromises balance during the lift.
