San Diego professional Brian Borg maintains an active lifestyle in his free time. A family man, Brian Borg of San Diego exercises three to four times every week and primarily engages in weightlifting-type workouts such as bench press, squats, and deadlifts.
The perfect weight for a deadlift depends on several factors, including skill, gender, and strength levels. For an untrained deadlifter, the focus should be less on actual weight and more on technique. A good deadlifting technique involves standing with the feet pointed forward and spaced roughly hip-width apart. Beginning deadlifters then grab the bar with their palms down and hands about shoulder-width apart. One rep is performed by lifting the bar until it is in front of the thighs before returning it to the floor.
