Welcome back crew! Today, we’re delving into the often-overlooked yet crucial aspect of deadlifting: foot positioning. Let’s break it down into easy-to-follow steps:

1. Importance of Foot Placement

• Foundation Matters: Your feet play a pivotal role in maintaining stability and form during the deadlift.
• Key Pressure Points: Focus on applying pressure to three specific spots:
  • Big toe
  • Outside of the foot
  • Heel

2. Creating Stability

• Ground Breakers: The goal is to “break” the ground beneath you by engaging these pressure points and creating a stable base.
• Active Engagement: Keep your foot actively involved throughout the movement to ensure stability and balance.

3. Maintaining Arch and Form

• Arch Support: Maintain a good arch in your foot to distribute weight evenly and prevent collapse.
• Staying Active: Whether in a conventional or unconventional stance, ensure your foot remains engaged and supportive.
