Don’t overlook the DeadLift. One of the key lifts to build a solid foundation, strengthen your back (posterior chain), help improve posture and prevent back & spinal injuries. Main working muscles: Gluteus Maximus (Bum🍑), Erector Spinae (longest back muscle sporting your spine/back) Hamstrings (Back of upper legs) Starting position Stand with your feet hip-with apart & under the barbell. When you look down, the barbell should run halfway over your feet. Bend down and grasp tightly the barbell with a shoulder-width grip. Raise your hips a little, straighten your back, and lean backwards so that your torso is upright. (Chest up) Execution After taking a deep breath, pull your shoulders back, stand and pull the bar up the front of your legs, driving with your legs. At the top of the movement, squeeze your glutes, and exhale. To return the bar to the floor, push your bum backward, flex your hips, and lower the bar down the front of your legs, keeping your back straight. Once the bar passes your knees, bend your knees and lower the bar to the ground. Comments and tips • Keep your arms and back straight, your torso upright, and your feet and knees pointing in the same direction. • At the top of the lift, do not hyperextend your back. • Keep the barbell close to your body to improve mechanical leverage. • Use gym chalk or wrist straps to improve your grip. •!Start light and add weight gradually to give your lower back time to adapt. • When lifting heavy, wear a support belt to protect your lower back. The barbell deadlift is arguably the king of all major mass-building exercises, challenged only by the barbell squat. It is great for shocking your body into releasing testosterone, strengthening your legs and core, and building body-wide strength and mass.
