AOverarching the lower back
BMaintaining a neutral spine
CBracing the core
DKeeping the bar close to the body

✓ Correct answer: A. Overarching the lower back Answer: Overarching the lower back Overarching the lower back is not a stability cue for the deadlift set-up. This action can compromise the integrity of the spine during the lift. Proper stability cues for a deadlift include maintaining a neutral spine, bracing the core, and keeping the bar close to the body, all of which support spinal alignment and control throughout the lift.
