Deadlifts

[JordanByrne]

I saw on somebody's post that you recommended taking the slack out of the bar when deadlifting. What is meant by this?

It means you need to put pre-tension on the bar before you pull it from the floor.

Just before you pull the bar from the floor you put tension on your body so everything is pulled tight. Like here: https://youtu.be/D_2RjBQBBrw
