Note: Deadlifting is very safe and an extremely useful exercise to do especially when you suffer from LOW BACK PAIN. Just make sure you start with a light weight and good technique. Please watch our video “Dead Lift- Technique” before starting loaded deadlifts.

Holding a barbell, lean forward lowering the weight to knee level (to start with). As you are lowering your chest, push your bum backward (as if you wanted to touch a wall behind you) which will help you to keep your lower back straight.

To keep your upper back straight, try to bring your shoulder blades together and make sure your arms are always straight through the exercises. Your lower body does the lift, not your arm.
