Protect your back! One of my favorite descriptions of the deadlift is that the trunk is the "transmission for the engine that lies below the waist." The concept is that a rigid trunk transmits the force generated by the hips and legs into a lifting motion. Back protection includes avoiding a rounded back - it is properly engaged to maintain a lordotic (concave) curve or, at minimum, flat back. Karen, James and Andy demonstrate that concept here.
