Anyone got any tips on deadlifting? Today was my first time

unless you're a 7 year old girl you should be able to at least pick up the bar

any normal man should even be able to start with 1pl8

>ohp 2 plate

Mate im not sure if youre serious here but if you cant lift the bar then you should have trouble bending down to pick up a pencil. Im guessing that literally any lower body excercise (especially squats) will help you, so make sure you have the form down first and just stick at it. We all have to start somewhere

Also I should point out that the pic in the OP is not how you deadlift. You reach down, grab the bar, and straigthen your arms. Then put your hips down slightly (lower back should be straight at all times) and pretend youre peeling the bar from the ground. Your legs will never be bent like that

bend knees and pick up bar with whole body at same time. don't shoot your butt up or lean to far forward. stay over the bar, lean back, and pick it up.
