deadlift

More is better.

What is required for a safe, productive, good looking deadlift? What I like to see is a straight back, eyes forward, and near zero change in shoulder and hip positions as the barbell leaves the floor.

Outside of that, people are built different. Some have short torsos and long legs, others short limbs and long torsos, necessitating slight variations in stance and grip.
