Sumo Deadlift Neutral Spine with Max Aita

February 17, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Jesse Burdick helps Max Aita with his Sumo Deadlift form.

Biggest issue here: keeping a more neutral spine.

Errors:

  • hips to low, he squatted the weight of the floor
  • too big of an arch in lower back

Fixes:

  • packing the neck locks thoracic spine
  • focus on getting the hips just low enough to grab the bar
  • shoulders over the bar
  • knees out
