When picking up my Troy Barbells during the Dead-Lift, there are a few tips that I would like to share with you when I’m doing the movements that require the use of my lower back. I make sure that the weight is directly below my chest and shoulder blades, and then I make sure that my lower back is straight, my knees are bent, my stomach braced, and my lats are tight. When I pick the weight up, I make sure to keep the weight as close to my legs and body as possible.
I concentrate on distributing the weight evenly along my feet and than I extend my legs and lower back at the same time. I literally have check points that go through my head every time I lift. It may seem over the top, but it’s kept my back pain free for over 15 years, so why mess with something that works.
