Starting Strength Omaha

Deadlifts aren’t bad for your back. Your form is.

​The deadlift has the worst PR campaign in fitness history. People see one video of bad form and decide the entire movement is dangerous.

​That’s like saying driving is too dangerous just because some people don't know how to park.

​The deadlift is a low-risk, high-reward movement. If you're scared of it, you don't need to quit—you just need to learn the technique. Stop letting fear-mongering keep you from building real-world strength.
