Perfect Deadlift Technique

The deadlift is the ultimate expression of total body strength, targeting your posterior chain, core, and grip while building functional power. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect biomechanics and injury prevention throughout your lifts.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Setup Position: Stand with feet hip-width apart, bar over mid-foot, shins touching the bar
  2. Grip and Brace: Grip bar with hands just outside legs, engage lats and brace core
  3. Hip Hinge: Drive hips back, maintain neutral spine, and create tension before lifting
  4. Lift Phase: Drive through heels and extend hips and knees simultaneously until standing tall

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Rounding the spine under load
  • Bar drifting away from the body during the lift
  • Hyperextending back at the top of the movement
  • Not engaging lats and losing upper back tightness
  • Rushing the setup and not creating proper tension
