Deadlifts
Unlike some of the others on this list, the deadlift is perhaps a bit more difficult to fully master. Some people think they don’t have to engage their legs with the movement which can be a mistake. The problem with the deadlift is that there different ways to perform the exercise. Another problem is that many taller lifters with longer limbs have a difficult time doing stiff legged deadlifts without bending their knees. But what’s completely unforgivable are the people that perform the “deadlift” and actually just end up performing a squat. Worst of all is when they don’t keep their back’s straight and having a rounded back. Having form like that is a recipe for disaster.
