Bar Path in the Deadlift

ByCrossFit March 22, 2021

In the deadlift, the bar should move over the middle of the foot, essentially traveling straight up and down. Effective coaching often involves slowing the athlete down to build the kinesthetic awareness the movement requires.

Apart from the irrelevant comments regarding the masks (well done, by the way), very good tips on identifying the best DL position. 👌🏼

Christian, GTFOOH with your brainwashing BS. This is CrossFit!!! You do things right in CF And, you do things with proper form in CF. There is no brainwashing involved in wearing a mask. It is science. You do what is correct when you want to be safer from contagious germs. Many places are still under masking requirements, and if the seminar was to go on, they obviously had to follow local guidelines. Please take your political wearing a mask is being brainwashed crap someplace else. Being safe is not being brainwashed.

I cannot believe you guys are wearing masks in this demo video. This is not Crossfit, it is brainwashing people. Very sad to see.

Probably at a cert and they are covered by local government mandates.


For the record, I agree with you, but HQ is all mushy these days.

Well done and thank you for wearing the masks and being an example and educating the importance of the science behind it. I know its not easy but as always Crossfit teaches good practice and discipline. The community is behind you 👊🏼

No one is brain washing. This is how in-person seminars were able to return. I’m sure the participants are thankful they were able to attend and didn’t mind having to wear a mask. The trainers don’t mind either, they adapt to the rules as professionals.

In this day & age you cannot even present the evidence & science without BigTech & BigPharma shutting you down. They make money off of unhealthy people, & where lots of money 💰 is involved they have every reason to lie to you! “I have been a surgeon all my life, & until now, until 2020, I have never heard that masks made a difference in viral transmissions.” Dr. Lee Merrit (America’s Frontline Doctors) Out West the news told people over the radio to not expect a covid mask to protect you from smoke particles. But the same people say it stops a submicroscopic virus. “THINK! ...It’s not illegal yet!”
