What is proper deadlift form?
Proper Deadlift form is lifting the bar in a vertical line. This is the most effective way to pull because it is the shortest distance between the floor and the lockout. And since you have the best balance when the bar moves over your mid-foot, it should leave the floor from that position. Pull the weight slowly off the floor. Don’t jerk the bar.
