Many trainers unfairly believe that this exercise is dangerous and certain gyms even ban users from performing it.
There is no scientific evidence to support claims that performing the exercise is bad for you or will prevent you from reaching your goals. In fact, the opposite is true. The key lies in learning how to do it the right way.
It would be foolish to walk in to this exercise without first knowing the proper technique. The same could be said for any move, naturally, but it’s particularly true when you will be able to handle big, heavy loads. These tips will set you on your way:
* Keep your feet set underneath the bar.
* Take a 20 degree bend in your knees.
* Hinge forwards at the waist as you lower yourself to pick up the bar.
* Your back should remain flat and tight during this portion of the move.
* Maximize your strength by gripping with an alternate grip in either hand.
* Push through the heels as you raise the load.
* Your hips will move back in line and you’ll end up in a straight line by the time you reach the top of the repetition.
* At the top of the move, your lower back should be slightly extended, chest out proud.
If you follow all eight steps above you will learn the perfect technique for getting the most out of this very powerful exercise. Better still, you will do it with perfect form which always ensures better results.
If you need any further advice on certain tips, now we’ll look at the more complex sections in more detail for you.
Most people make the crucial mistake of squatting as they perform this exercise. Avoid this by limiting the bend in your knees to 20 degrees, no more.
Experimenting with your grip can also return great gains, so get creative with the various hand positions as you gain familiarity with the techniques above. Keeping your back straight is the difficult part, but if you can focus on pushing your shoulders back at the peak of the repetition you will eliminate this issue altogether.
Another key mistake which is often made is to push through the toes instead of the heels. This would cause you to fall off balance. Keeping your center of gravity over the heels is so important, we cannot stress it enough.
Learning the ins and outs of how to deadlift can be tricky for many people, but you now know the basic principles of the move. While many tips on how to lose weight or put on size can often be quite vague, the principles above will help you to get the most out of the biggest exercise in the gym.
