Mistake

The first thing that comes up is not the shoulders. While pulling the weight from the ground the hips might rise first, or the knees might be pulled back while the shoulders stay low.

Solution

Lead with the shoulder and eyesight. Slightly raise your neck and look higher up. As you start pulling, make sure that it’s the shoulders that rise first. Sure, it’s really the head that rises first, but you want to think about the shoulders as they’re connected to your arms which are connected to the weight. Keep the shoulders in the middle and above the weight which should have started under the shoulders in a squat position where the knees are forward (ankles bent), the hips back, and the shoulders high.

If you can’t fix the mistake, then you may have to consider lowering the weight until you can get the movement right.

Description
