How to Do a deadlift with proper form

The deadlift is a great, well-known exercise to build muscle. But only when it is done properly will you get the best results, or the results desired. This video will show you exactly how to do a deadlift with proper form.

Here is a deadlift instructional video that I shot while working out last week down at the Las Vegas Athletic Club. The deadlift is one of the oldest weight training exercises and it is also one of the most effective exercises for overall total body muscular development. There is a lot of confusion and misconceptions when it comes to the deadlift. Some people think that it is a dangerous exercise. However, when it is done properly, it is one of the most productive exercises that you can do in your workouts.
