Tips for Posterior Chain

If you cannot maintain the thoracic spine when you are performing back extension,

DO NOT start performing any compound exercises like Deadlift.

I always hear people mentioned that they injured by doing Deadlift or Rack Pull in the past. I know. Since you didn't have a coach to show you or correct you before you lift heavy weight. -------------------------------------------------

Here are Five major tips

1) Engage your lats. &

2) Squeeze your glutes

3) Before lower down the barbell

try to shift your hip back,

4) Shift your bodyweight on your heels,

5) Stretch your hamstrings at the bottom of range.
