Master the deadlift the right way. In this video, we break down the 5-step Starting Strength deadlift setup: stance, grip, shins to bar, chest up, and driving through the floor.
You’ll learn:
- Exactly where your feet and bar should be (midfoot alignment)
- How to grip the bar without rolling it forward
- Why you must bring your shins to the bar — not the bar to you
- How to brace, flatten your back, and create that “bow” shape
- The proper way to pull and return the bar without ruining your form
This is the simplest, most effective way to deadlift safely and get stronger. No fluff — just real coaching.
