How To Deadlift - The Tiny Girl's Guide To Fitness

There are several reasons why women should include deadlifting into their workout routine. 

We are taught to believe that we can’t get strong, and that we should only lift barbie weights in pretty pink. One of the most important reasons deadlifting is important for women is that it allows them to realise their true strength potential. 


Dos:

1. Neutral spine/chest out 
2. Brace your core 
3. Dip your hip 
4. Push through your heels... and rip that shit off the ground

Don'ts:
1. Squatting the deadlift (it is not a hip dominant movement)
2. Not pushing through the heels
3. Not using the glutes at lockout
4. Breaking the floor too fast (your hips will shoot up quickly)

♥ It will change your life

A picture says a thousand words guys! 
Read widely and research on the concept of any exercise you do, until you know enough to do it well.
