That said, anytime you are lifting a weight you need to know what you are doing and do it correctly. Jim “Smitty” Smith of Diesel Crew shows and tells how to deadlift the proper way.

Smitty does a great job a describing how to set up the lift and really set up to successfully pull maximum weights safely. Once you learn this, go out and confidently perform the King of Lifts!
