help with deadlifting

[qelamk]

they just put in a deadlift platform at my gym. I’ve noticed when it comes to deadlifting, a lot of different opinions on the proper stance.
some people like the conventional option and some people like the sumo
What do you recommend that I do as someone who is generally new to weight training?

 

[Mobster]

Try them both

bros My recommendation is lift raw. Don't use straps or wraps, or gloves. Or even chalk.

Make sure your feet are aligned correctly. Proper form is important. You can end up with injuries.

i'm not a fan of deadlifts to be honest. I think that doing box squats makes more sense, especially if you're new.

deadlifts are a great exercise. Not a lot of gyms will allow it, though. You gotta find a place that does.

Have someone that knows what they're doing, teach you. That's going to be what you need to do. Otherwise, I'll never learn.

I would go with conventional. Make sure you keep your hands straight. And make sure you keep your spine straight.

Keeping your chin up is very important. Too many people lower their chin and that puts pressure on your neck.
