Back pain during deadlifts? Try these tips!

Got back pain during your deadlifts or not quite sure you're feeling it where you should? I've got some tips for you. First off, we want to remember that we're not just folding forward. We're actually driving our hips to the back. In that hinge position. We want to wrap that core, stacking the rib cage right over the pelvis and then pull those shoulders back and down. Keeping the shoulders pulled back, you're going to hinge forward, keeping the weights close to the front of the legs. Imagine that you are painting the front of your legs with those dumbbells. You return to the standing position. You want to connect, squeezing the glutes and hamstrings, but also the core and pelvic floor. If you're still feeling it, you may want to try moving those weights to the side of your legs instead of the front. Or you can experiment with bending the knees a little bit more while keeping that good hinge position. Was this helpful?
