Priortise Technique with the correct form.
To deadlift safely and protect your lower back, focus on form over weight. Begin by standing with your feet hip-width apart and the bar close to your shins. Keep your spine neutral—neither rounded nor over-arched. Hinge at your hips, not your waist, and push your hips back as if you’re closing a car door behind you. Grip the bar firmly, brace your core as if preparing for a punch, and keep your chest lifted.
As you lift, drive through your heels, keep the bar close to your body, and extend your hips forward smoothly. Avoid jerking the bar or leaning back at the top. Lower the weight with control by hinging at the hips again. Start light, prioritize technique, and progress gradually to keep your lower back strong and injury-free.
