 Deadlift

The deadlift is one of the most functional exercises you can do.  Outside Mount Olympus CrossFit, the deadlift correlates simply with picking heavy stuff up off the ground.  You have likely heard all your life, "Lift with your legs, not your back."  What exactly does this mean?  Today, your coach will correct your form as we work on developing the proper way to lift.  It will vary based on your personal build.  Everyone has a different "ideal" form.
