Pick Up The Bar
Pick up the bar.
Stop over-thinking everything.
Stop putting ten different cues in your head right before you lift.
Stop obsessing about:
your feet
your grip
your hands
your chest
your lumbar curve
your shoes
chalk
the tension of your hamstrings
your ancestral lineage
and whether cream in your coffee is an unforgivable affront to the Paleo Gods
Want to know what CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman had to say about the proper deadlift grip?
"In the real f***ing world, the object determines that for you."
Things can be that simple sometimes.You've been trained. Now stop thinking so much.
Do what you know to do with what is in front of you.
Pick. Up. The. Bar.
Put it down.
