If you find that you have reached a plateau in your deadlift there are many different ways that you can break through this by changing the sets and reps that you use. Also changing your routine around and mixing up the order in which you normally train can and usually does make a big difference.

Here is a list of the five basic steps when doing a deadlift.

1. Stand with the bar above the center of your feet - your stance should be a bit narrower than shoulder-width to give your arms room.

2. Grab the bar overhand so your arms are vertical to the floor - if your hamstrings are tight, do Squat 2 stands to boost your hip flexibility.

3. Bend through your knees until your shins hit the bar which must remain above the middle of your feet. Shoulder-blades directly over the bar.

4. Lift your chest but don't squeeze your shoulder-blades like on Squats. Just put your shoulders back & down, head in line with rest of your spine.

5. Pull - keep the bar close to your body; roll it over your knees and thighs until your hips and knees are locked. Do not lean back at the top.
