COMMENTS:
Remember to always spot the high wall when doing deadlifts so you don't throw out your back. I like to really focus on my legs and glutes when I'm doing deadlift, since this is where the power of the lift comes from (if you're feeling the deadlift more in your back than in your legs and glutes, it's because you're form is off).
When doing lat pull-downs, don't fall into the trap that many people do by pulling the bar down to the base of the back of your neck. I don't know why this is taught as the proper way to do a lat pull-down, but this type of pull-down can cause injury. The more-correct way to execute a lat pull-down is to pull the bar down in front of you to about chest level.
go you!
