Proper Deadlift Form - Avoiding Common Mistakes for Safe Strength Training #3565370 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a cartoon male lifter in a white tank top and beige shorts, gripping a loaded barbell with both hands while crouched low, eyes wide and teeth gritted in exertion. His back shows slight rounding, shoulders are tense, and motion lines emphasize shaking limbs-indicating improper form and excessive strain. This visual serves as a cautionary example of what *not* to do during deadlifts.

Used on fitness blogs, strength-training guides, physical therapy resources, and gym safety pages to illustrate poor lifting mechanics. Matches user intent for learning proper deadlift execution, preventing injury, or identifying form flaws during self-guided workouts.
