What We Saw Wednesday #31: The Biggest Deadlift Set-up Error: Not pulling out the slack, yanking the bar, or fudging up the pre-pull
Description
In a perfect world, you should pull all the slack out of the bar and body system in the deadlift set up. The deadlift should leave the floor in a very smooth, quiet manner. You shouldn’t hear the bar, yank it, or get excessive body movement before the bar leaves the ground.
In this What We Saw Wednesday episode of the PRS Podcast, Dr. Alyssa Haveson reviews a PRS client’s form check video where we see a very jerky deadlift start.
She discusses:
-
What these deadlift set-up errors look and sound like
-
The importance of why the slack must be pulled out before the deadlift is executed some strategies to address these issues
-
How to make sure you pull out the slack and maintain it before lifting the bar
