Finish Your Deadlift: The Last Five Percent

Rip explains the steps to achieve a proper deadlift lockout, making sure you complete the movement instead of stopping short. The correct finish involves lifting your chest and pulling your shoulders back. Not doing so means you're only completing 95% of the rep.

I needed this. Need to concentrate on getting tall and finish the top.

And finish tall. In other words, try to make yourself stand as tall as possible at the top. Doing so will accomplish many subtle but worthwhile things at once.

Yet in the 5 steps it says Pull. Not wonder people are missing it

[@thejdshipley]

Wrong. It is commonly referred to as a pull. Step 5 directs someone to “drag the bar up the shin” or “push the floor away”. But trainees are NOT directed to pull the bar up.

5% Rip... really? PS. - Rip looks like Old Man Logan these days...

[@IrishMexican]

It’s interesting that you almost never see videos of him lifting anymore too. I enjoy watching dudes his age actually doing a full heavy workout.

95% is better than nothing. Stop nit-picking.
