The #1 Deadlift Mistake People Over 40 Make
The most common deadlift mistake I see is standing way too far away from the bar.
When the bar is out in front of you, it's much harder to pick up. It also makes the lift a lot less safe.
Here's how to fix it:
1. Set up with the bar almost touching your shins, as close as possible before you lift.
Keeping the bar close makes you more stable and keeps you safer through every rep.
SAVE this before your next lower body day and fix your deadlift.
