Correct Deadlifting form

[chipvideo]

I am not sure how I should be doing these. I did them with my feet about shoulder width apart and my hands a little farther than that. I use the overhand grip as well. When I was doing them my hands were rubbing on my legs making friction so it got hard to do them. Is there any video on the net showing propper form?

Somone please. What is the correct form. I don't want to screw up my back again. I am sure there are people on here who are pros with deadlifting.

check out abcbodybuilding.com ......that's helped me on a few excersises. If you are having issues w/ your back you may want to consider sumo deadlifts.

I use an overhand grip as well. My grip changed from over/under because I had to start using straps.

I have no idea why (maybe someone else does) but when I canged the grip I had to move my hands further apart to keep good form.

Do u use straps because of using bigger weights that way or for some other reason? Deadlift is one helluva good move for getting better grip , something I have destroyed over the yrs with the use of straps( not with deads however). question For Rubberduckyo....
As for proper form I think this is one easy move to master, squats way harder... Dunno about the wide stance , but when using the regular narrow stance it´s imperative to keep the back straight all the way. grip should also be guite narrow because u don´t have to round the back at the starting point that way. No matter what grip is used ; back straight , grip hard and lift with the legs. Maintain the solid posture at all times , because cheating in this move is easy way to disaster! Slow and steady wins the race again...
NO sudden jerky moves , instead steady and controlled lift . Remember to concentrate well and keep it that way through the whole set.
