Deadlift: Screw the lats into the hips We want to create tension through the lats in order to properly transfer energy from our leg drive to the barbell. Cueing athletes to squeeze the newspaper works well for olympic lifts because we want to be able to read the newspaper when we are finished, keeping a nice light engagement. When deadlifting we want to crush the newspaper so hard that it turns to dust. In all seriousness, it is a much more aggressive ‘squeeze’ and will feel like you are trying to screw the lats into your hip bones. Be sure that this squeezing action isn’t interpreted as pulling the elbows in but rather as pulling the shoulders down and in so hard that they become part of the torso.
